Massachusetts’ largest ferry service hit by ransomware attack

The Steamship Authority, Massachusetts’ largest ferry service, was hit by a ransomware attack on Wednesday. Ticketing and reservation disruptions led to ticketing disruptions. President Biden will be discussing these recent attacks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the June 16 Geneva summit. This is one of several ransomware incidents that have impacted US targets in the last month, all of them orchestrated by cybercriminals believed to be Russian-based. Another attack forced Colonial Pipeline to shut down the largest US pipeline and pay a $5 million ransom during early May.
