Tests Show Ease of Hacking ECDIS, Radar and Machinery
By MarEx 2017-12-21
"Security company Naval Dome has demonstrated what it says is the maritime industry’s nightmare security scenario with a series of cyber penetration tests on systems in common use on board tankers, container ships, super yachts and cruise ships.
The tests demonstrated the ease with which hackers can access and over-ride ship critical systems.
With the permission and under the supervision of system manufacturers and owners, Naval Dome’s cyber engineering team hacked into live, in-operation systems used to control a ships’ navigation, radar, engines, pumps and machinery."
