The Port of Lisbon suffered a ransomware attack and data breach on Christmas Day 2022, raising concerns about the potential exposure of confidential information. The attackers have reportedly stolen financial reports, audits, budgets, contracts, cargo information, ship logs, port documentation, among other vital port-related information, whilst already having published samples of the stolen data. The group LockBit has threatened to publish all of the files that were seized during their computer attack should their ransom demands of $1.5 million be left unmet.
