The Akira Ransomware group have targeted the Norwegian Ship Services in November of 2024. The threat actor practices multi-extortion tactics and host a TOR-based website where victims are listed along with any stolen data if a victim fails to comply with the ransom demands. Since Ship Services is providing essential maritime services across a wide spectrum for 40 years, such an attack can disrupt their operations and have impact in the organizations' reputation.
