Thomas Lind, co-head of strategic intelligence at BlueVoyant, told ZDNet.<\/p>\n<p>2017&#8217;s NotPetya cyberattack demonstrated the amount of disruption that can occur in these scenarios, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-the-key-lesson-maersk-learned-from-battling-the-notpetya-attack\/\">when shipping firm Maersk had vast swathes of its network of tens of thousands of devices across 130 counties encrypted and knocked offline<\/a> in an incident that cost hundreds of millions in losses.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>But despite this high profile cyber event demonstrating the need for good cybersecurity strategy, according to BlueVoyant&#8217;s report, shipping and logistics companies need to &#8220;dramatically&#8221; improve IT hygiene and email security to make networks more resilient against ransomware and other cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p>That includes fixing vulnerabilities in remote desktops or ports, something that 90% of the organisations studied in the research were found to have. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-crooks-are-targeting-vulnerable-vpn-devices-in-their-attacks\/\">Vulnerabilities in RDP systems<\/a> like unpatched software or using default or common login credentials can provider cyber attackers with relatively simple access to networks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When unsecured, ransomware attackers are able to gain access to a system and then move laterally in order to most effectively compromise and lockdown a target network,&#8221; said Lind.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Companies are not adequately securing themselves \u2013 and we haven&#8217;t seen any industry with worse protections in place than supply chain and logistics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, it isn&#8217;t ransomware groups that are breaching logistics and shipping companies, but merely opportunistic cyber criminals who know they&#8217;ll be able to sell the credentials on for others to use to commit attacks. <\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/hackers-are-actively-targeting-flaws-in-these-vpn-devices-heres-what-you-need-to-do\/\"><strong>Hackers are actively targeting flaws in these VPN devices. Here&#8217;s what you need to do<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shipping and logistic companies have vast networks \u2013 but there are cybersecurity procedures that can improve their defences against cyberattacks. These include securing port and network configuration so that default or easy-to-guess credentials aren&#8217;t used and to, where possible, secure the accounts with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/multi-factor-authentication-use-it-for-all-the-people-that-access-your-network-all-the-time\/\">two-factor authentication<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ransomware gangs don&#8217;t hide what they&#8217;re doing: they hit remote desktop protocol (RDP) and other remote desktop ports. Especially in a time when many companies set up remote desktops for remote workers, this is a critical issue,&#8221; said Lind. <\/p>\n<p>Organisations should also update and patch software in a timely manner so cyber criminals can&#8217;t take advantage of known vulnerabilities to gain access to networks. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>MORE ON CYBERSECURITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> READ MORE <a
