The FBI and US Coast Guard boarded oil tankers found to have compromised onboard networks after the vessels were detected heading toward the US coast. Investigators are examining the hacks, which in at least one case reportedly interfered with a tanker's navigation and propulsion systems. The incident raises concerns about the vulnerability of maritime vessels to cyberattacks that could affect critical safety systems, and comes amid broader scrutiny of cybersecurity risks to shipping and energy infrastructure.
