Real pirates used hacking techniques to raid a shipping company

Real pirates have hacked into a shipping company to locate valuable cargo before hijacking vessels in targeted attacks. The criminal organisation breached the content management system (CMS) of the unnamed shipping company. This is a considerable advantage for the traditional piracy, in the past criminals had patrol boats using scanners to locate the precious commodities. By obtaining the location of the valuable cargo, it makes easier and faster hijacking the vessels. The shipping company, once discovered the cyber attacks, secured its servers and improved the operational security of its systems.”]
