Operations at one of the three terminals of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), India’s largest container port, came to a standstill on Tuesday night following the global ransomware attack that crippled Russia’s biggest oil company, Ukrainian banks and multinational companies in Europe. Officials said the attack has affected all software operations of Gateway Terminal India (GTI). “As far as GTI is concerned, 2,000 to 5,000 containers are received and delivered from there on a regular basis. APM Terminals is a subsidiary of shipping giant Maersk, which has confirmed it has been hit by the cyber attack. “We can confirm that Maersk’s IT systems are down across multiple geographies and business units due to a cyber-attack.
