Cyber extortion group 'n0n' has named 38 organizations across the global shipping and ports sector on its dark-web leak site, raising concerns that data may have been stolen. Cybersecurity firm SOCRadar reported that n0n published the listings in a single batch on 12 October, including container terminals and shipping companies. Separately, ransomware group Direwolf listed Precision Vehicle Logistics, a Michigan-based finished-vehicle logistics provider, on September 7 and the Port of Tanjung Pelepas four days later, a sequence that analysts say may have flown under the radar.
