The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating a cyberattack on a large South Korean-managed oil tanker that was headed for Galveston, Texas, last month, with Iran claiming responsibility for hacking the U.S.-bound vessel.
The head of the Coast Guard’s Cyber Command warned that the incident requires action as concerns grow over cyberattacks targeting commercial shipping and critical maritime infrastructure.
