Dock, Block and Two Smoking Hackers: When Cyber Strike Hits Australia’s DP World

In a twist no dock worker saw coming, DP World Australia grapples with a maritime port cybersecurity incident. The only placards here are digital, the picketers invisible hackers. Ships unload but freight sits in a cyber limbo, causing an operational jam. It’s a reminder that in this digital era, strikes come without a catchy chant.

Hot Take:

When the internet takes a day off: Australian port operator DP World is suddenly reminded of the bad old days when loading docks were shut down by burly men with placards, not invisible cyber villains. But in this digital era, it's not strikes causing the hold-ups – it's hackers. And they don't even have the decency to bring a catchy chant!
