BIMCO Ch2: Identify Threats

BIMCO Cyber Security BIMCO-2.2: Types of cyber threats

Threats are untargeted (the ship or company is one of many victims or collateral damage, as with NotPetya, using tools freely available online) or targeted (the company or ship is chosen, often after reconnaissance, with tailored tools). Techniques include malware (trojans, ransomware, spyware, viruses, worms and exploits of unpatched software), water holing, scanning, typosquatting, social engineering, brute force, credential stuffing, denial of service, phishing and spear-phishing (sometimes using SAT-C messages to build familiarity) and supply chain subversion.
