GoKawiilFBI and Coast Guard board two hacked oil tankers off US coast
Cybersecurity teams from the FBI and U.S. Coast Guard boarded two U.S.-bound oil tankers in the Gulf of Mexico between August 21-24 after discovering their networks had been compromised, giving attackers apparent control over navigation, propulsion, and cargo systems. One vessel was identified as VL Prosperity, a massive oil tanker that reportedly lost communications for over a day and experienced interference with its speed and fuel systems while sailing from Egypt to the U.S. in early August.
