Summary:

In November 2024, a series of DDoS attacks by Russian hacktivist groups, including the Cyber Army of Russia Reborn (CARR), targeted ports such as the Port of Brisbane. These attacks, while unsophisticated, disrupted services by flooding websites with malicious traffic. The hacktivists are linked to state-backed cyber groups like APT44 (Sandworm), and while the attacks were not highly destructive, they pointed to vulnerabilities in maritime cybersecurity.
