DP World Australia restarting operations following cyber-attack

DP World Australia’s operations are starting to get back up and running after the company’s terminals in Melbourne, Port Botany, Brisbane and Fremantle were hit by a cyber attack on Friday November 10, affecting the movement of around 30,000 containers.

Following the disruption which lasted the weekend, the company noted that it had resumed operations at its terminals at 09:00 local time on Monday following successful tests of key systems overnight.

The company had disconnected its internet on Friday, aiming to prevent unauthorised access to its network, thereby impacting activities at the ports.
