Another cyber victim
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has confirmed that it has been hit by a cyber-attack against its IT-systems.
The UN organisation spoke of “technical issues” at first, but declared by the end of the week on its official Twitter account that the troubles - the website was down, amongst others - had in fact been caused by a cyber-attack.
The UN’s IT and security experts are currently supporting IMO to restore its systems. The organisation announced that it will improve its IT security in due course. (cd)
