MSC network outage resolved after confirmed malware attack

MSC’s internal systems are now fully functional following a network outage over Easter weekend at the company’s Geneva headquarters, which has been confirmed as the result of a malware attack.

All MSC booking options and the website msc.com are available again after the shipping line took precautionary measures to limit access while investigating the details of the incident and trying to ensure the integrity of its systems.

A statement from the carrier noted: “After a thorough investigation, we confirmed that it was confined to a limited number of physical computer systems in Geneva only and we determined that it was a malware attack based on an engineered targeted vulnerability.”
