A researcher recently demonstrated a plethora of security gaps that could expose container ships to cyberthreats. Ken Munro of Pen Test Partners detailed shipping industry security vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, easily exploitable satellite antennae and other misconfigurations. Munro showed a private network terminal that listed the vessel name and identified the entire crew of a naval ship on its login page. If crew members fail to use strong authentication, they increase the potential for a data breach. Unless the sector beefs up measures to protect data, the future will be anything but smooth sailing.”]
