Massachusetts Steamship Authority hit by cyberattack
Fox News
Guests traveling to Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket using ferry service from the Massachusetts Steamship Authority should expect delays after the company announced it has been the target of a ransomware attack Wednesday morning that is affecting operations.
The Steamship Authority is the latest business to be hit in a recent wave of cyberattacks. The Colonial Pipeline hack, the most notable cyberattack of 2021, temporarily shut down a 5,500-mile pipeline system that transports more than 100 million gallons of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and heating oil per day, or roughly 45% of fuel consumed across the East Coast, between the Gulf Coast and New York metro area. The attack prompted widespread panic buying that led to gas shortages at over 1,000 fueling stations across the East Coast.More Related News
