Port of Lisbon hit by ransomware attack

One of Europe’s busiest seaports, the Port of Lisbon, has been hit with a ransomware (opens in new tab) attack that knocked some of its digital systems offline.

“All safety protocols and response measures provided for this type of occurrence were quickly activated, the situation being monitored by the National Cybersecurity Center and the Judicial Police,” a statement shared by the Port of Lisbon Administration (APL) with local media earlier this week said.
