I attack hacker to the systems of Maersk Line constitutes a carried out point of for computer science safety of the shipping



As they passed the hours it was begun to have a premonition that I attack it hacker that tuesday has blocked the computer science systems of important agencies and various institutions of some you leave of the world and great companies, between which the company of navigation Maersk Line, more than to be derubricato as one of the repeated raids of computer science pirates yearnings to embed poured ransoms in order to unblock the computers infects, for the field of the transport, and in particular for the shipping since Maersk Line is world leader of the containerized marine transport, I attack it constitutes a real carried out point of.

It has been, and it is still, since to two days of distance the problems are not still totally resolved, a testing ground that the embrittlement of the field regarding threats of this type has evidenced, and not certainly for the weakness of the placed computer science defenses in existence from Maersk Line. It has been and it is, in fact, a misadventure that has made to raise the hair of the responsibles IT of the main world-wide companies, conscious of the difficulty to raise barriers in a position to preventing that their systems are infected by catchy, aggressive and devastating computer science viruses.

Of they are perfectly aware, for example, the managers computer science of the group Fedex Corporation, one of the world-wide colossus of the logistics and the deliveries express. The it system of the TNT Express branch, as those of Maersk Line, have been also infected they from the Petya virus. The society has announced to have implemented a plan of operating contingency that allows to complete the programmed withdrawals with the customers. "While we work to the solution of the problematic ones on the systems - however it has specified TNT Express - are previewed delays in the transit of shipments, in particular for the intercontinental deliveries or with destination to out of the European Union. Moreover they can endure you delay shipments of those customers who do not have of the system of automatic labelling. In this moment - moreover TNT Express has announced - we are able to not to withdraw dangerous shipments of goods". Fedex has specified that the activities of all the other societies of the group are not interested by the problem and the services are distributed with absolute regularity.

From part its Maersk Line, in the last communications which released on the social medium, implicitly confirming not to be able to still accept directed reservations, has emphasized that it is possible to carry out activity of booking through platform INTTRA, even if - it has specified this last one - the confirmations of the reservations by Maersk can be correspondents when the activity of the systems of information technology of the company of Danish navigation will be restored, reactivation that will allow also to have of the functionality of track and trace relative to the reservations with Maersk that currently is not operating.

Useless to say that shortly, when favorably these dysfunctions will become a memory, the top manager of world-wide the marine companies will take to more to heart the demands for ulterior resources advanced from the computer science departments of the companies, very edotti of the fact that the IT, as well as to offer the greatest opportunities than development, can also be incolpevolmente in charge of huge damages.
