Critical flaws have been found on Startos Global's AmosConnect that can allow attackers to access sensitive information or even control a ship's IT network. AmosConnect is used for a ship's IT infrastructure and is deployed in thousands of ships with very few updating 10 to 15 years old software. Although these flaws do not affect a ship's navigation system network, it can be troubling as NotPetya shutdown the largest ship terminal in Los Angeles.
"Essentially anyone interested in sensitive company information or looking to attack a vessel's IT infrastructure could take advantage of these flaws. This leaves crew member and company data extremely vulnerable, and could present risks to the safety of the entire vessel," Ballano says.
