DP World is one of the largest port operators in Australia (and the world), handling up to 40% of the goods that flow in and out of our country, and it got absolutely owned in a "cyber incident" Friday night. Don't know what happened but they've halted operations at container terminals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle since Friday after "pulling the plug" on internet connectivity at these sites once they discovered they've been hacked. According to DP World it'll still be a few more days until things are up and running again. The Australian Federal Police and the Australian Cyber Security Centre are assisting in this "nationally significant incident".
