"Japan’s Nagoya Port Suspends Cargo Operations Following Ransomware Attack"

The Nagoya Port Unified Terminal System (NUTS) in Japan recently suffered a significant system outage that was attributed to a ransomware attack.  According to a notice (in Japanese) sent to customers, the attack disrupted container operations across all terminals within the port.  In particular, container import and export operations via trailer transportation have been temporarily halted at the terminals.  Shipping companies responsible for the arrival and departure of container vessels are advised to consult with the primary carrier for instructions and updates regarding loading and unloading operations.  Upon investigation, officials from the Nagoya Port Transport Association Terminal Subcommittee and the Aichi Prefectural Police Headquarters confirmed the cyberattack's nature.  Recovery measures are underway, with all stakeholders dedicating their resources to expedite the process. In terms of attribution, the Nagoya Harbor Transportation Association said the LockBit ransomware gang was behind the attack.
