Ongoing Cyber Incident Disrupts Australia's Major Ports

DP World Australia, managing 40% of the country's goods flow, works to restore operations as Federal Police investigate the breach

DP World Australia, which manages nearly 40% of Australia's goods flow, is working to restore operations after a significant cyber incident disrupted its ports for two days.
The Australian Federal Police have launched an investigation into the cyberattack, which has affected ports in several states including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Western Australia's Fremantle.
The cyber incident has not stopped containers from being unloaded from vessels, but trucks have been unable to transport them due to the disruption at the terminals.
The ongoing cyber incident is expected to continue for several days, impacting the movement of goods into and out of Australia, and potentially affecting supply chains already recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic.
DP World Australia is part of Dubai's state-owned ports giant DP World, which operates in 18 locations in the Asia-Pacific region and employs more than 7,000 people.
