After Russia (re)invaded Ukraine in February, national sanctions imposed on Russian shipping companies and designated Russian-owned vessels and financial institutions started degrading the country’s maritime sector.
“These sanctions include the launch of “Task Force Kleptocapture” by the U.S. Treasury Department on March 2 to seize luxury yachts owned by oligarchs close to Putin. The next day, the world’s three largest container lines, A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co., and CMA CGM S.A., joined Hapag-Lloyd AG and Asia’s Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. in stopping service to Russia,” a source as per Lieber Institute West Point.
These companies represent 47% of the global shipping trade, and their suspension of cargo routes to Russia is slowly bleeding Russia’s economy.
On Friday, Abatu on Twitter had also claimed to have pwned China Academy of Telecommunication Research of MIIT.
In the post, the hacker also shares more information and the download link.
