At least two foreign-flagged oil tankers bound for the U.S. were targeted in cyberattacks while passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, compromising operational and IT systems aboard the vessels, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The tankers were later boarded by U.S. Coast Guard and FBI teams in the Gulf of Mexico. Officials warned such attacks could potentially cause navigation failures, collisions, explosions or oil spills. The U.S. has not identified who was responsible.
