AUSTRALIAN PORTS OPERATOR SUFFERS 'CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT'

By Staff Writer

Nov 13 2023 7:26AM



SUSPENDS OPERATIONS.

Australian police were on Sunday investigating a cyber security incident that
forced ports operator DP World Australia to suspend operations at ports in
several states from Friday.



"We've commenced an investigation into the incident and we're not commenting
further as it's an ongoing investigation," said a spokesperson for the
Australian Federal Police.

DP World Australia, part of Dubai's state-owned ports giant DP World, suspended
operations at its container terminals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Western
Australia's Fremantle after detecting the breach on Friday.



In a statement on Sunday, DP World Australia said it was "testing key systems
crucial for the resumption of normal operations and regular freight movement".

It was also examining "the nature of data access and data theft", it said.

A company spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment on when normal operations would resume, however it was reported this
could be as soon as today.



The ports operator said earlier it was "working around the clock" to restore
normal operations.

Late on Saturday, the National Cyber Security Coordinator Darren Goldie,
appointed this year in response to several major data breaches, said the
"interruption" was "likely to continue for a number of days and will impact the
movement of goods into and out of the country".

"DP World Australia has advised it has restricted access to its Australian port
operations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle while it investigates
the incident," Goldie said on social media platform X, formerly known as
Twitter.

Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil said that the government was coordinating a
response to the "cyber incident".



According to DP World, in the Asia-Pacific region it employs more than 7000
people and has ports and terminals in 18 locations.
