The hackers used Ragnar Locker ransomware to steal and encrypt stolen customer data. In response to the attack, the company immediately shut down its access to the internet in order to stop further spreading of the ransomware to the rest of the global network. As a result, all online booking services and operation requests were shut down. Customers were asked to contact their nearest local office for bookings and inquiries. Also the ports and vessels were partially impacted. After the company refused to pay the ransom, all data was leaked.
