News Large Vessel Suffers Cyber Incident: Actors Still Unknown

                                 A large international vessel due for the port of New York and New Jersey, suffered a cyber attack. While the crew still retained control of the ship, it is unknown as to how the ship's network was breached, but according to a report, the crew knew about the breach before it had reached fruition. The exact nature of the attack has not yet been released as well as the actors are as of yet unknown. Although, a hacker group called Gold Galleon, a group that operates from Nigeria, is the prime suspect. 

              This should be a wake up call for all in the maritime industry, as they should be vigilant for bad USBs, phishing operations, etc.
