Shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk is investigating a cyber security incident involving unauthorised access to and extraction of data from a local legacy system linked to a previous acquisition.
“Once the Maersk Cyber Security team discovered the issue, a full investigation was immediately launched and remains ongoing, with swift action being taken to secure the affected system,” the company said in an advisory note on Wednesday.
Initial findings strongly suggest that no sensitive data has been disclosed, Maersk said.
“The incident is isolated to a local system, and we have found no indication that there has been any impact on other Maersk systems or customer and partner systems that connect to Maersk through integrations such as APIs and EDI,” the company said.
“We do not anticipate disruption to operations for customers at this time, and customers can continue to use Maersk platforms to book and manage their shipments as usual.”
