A London-headquartered port agency operating in over 360 global ports has been the victim of a ransomware data theft in June 12, 2025, with attackers claiming to have stolen approximately 140 GB of internal data. The breach from the Bert ransomware gang exposed sensitive documents including employee vaccination records, passports, inspection reports, and other internal communications. Cybernews analysts confirmed the legitimacy of leaked material via dark‑web monitoring. It is noted that Bert ransomware, operational since April 2025, has targeted at least a dozen organizations by infiltrating IT ecosystems through software supply-chain vulnerabilities
