Hit by ransomware attack, Nagoya Port in Japan was shut down for two days!

The Central News Agency reported on a ransomware attack in Nagoya Port, Japan. The container terminal at Nagoya Port in Japan was hit by a ransomware attack, causing system failures and encryption of data. As a result, cargo handling was impossible and all five container terminals at the port were shut down for two days, resulting in significant financial losses.

Nagoya Port is the gateway to the automotive industry in the Tokai region of Japan and has had the largest cargo volume in Japan since 2002. The system failure this time also forced Toyota Motor Corporation to suspend its zero-component loading and unloading operations, and Toyota stated that it would pay attention to the impact on production.

Data is a vital core resource for enterprises, and the battle against data ransomware and protection has always been intense. Incidents such as installing "backdoors" in enterprise systems, illegally obtaining enterprise data through ransomware, and controlling or manipulating enterprise systems and devices are common. Faced with such fierce attacks, enterprises should be vigilant, deploy data backup and recovery systems in advance to deal with ransomware attacks.
