Coast Guard, FBI boarded tanker after attack by ‘foreign cyber actors’
US Coast Guard and FBI boarded an oil tanker after foreign hackers compromised its network; VL Prosperity reportedly lost communications for 30 hours.
The US Coast Guard confirmed that a specialized team including USCG Cyber Protection Team members and FBI Cyber Action Team operators boarded a tanker on August 21 after indications its network was compromised by foreign cyber actors. Bloomberg identified one vessel as VL Prosperity; Iranian state-linked outlet Mehr reported it lost communications for 30 hours after an August 7 attack while transiting the Strait of Gibraltar, with a crew member alleging attackers increased engine speed and disabled fuel and engine-oil tanks. No operational disruptions or environmental impacts were reported, no group has claimed responsibility, and Russian analysts linked the incident to US-Iran tensions. A day before the alleged attack, North Carolina Ports reported a cyberattack that forced a shift to manual operations.

Slovakia Warns of Cyber Risks in Road Speed Cameras
Slovakia's NBÚ warns that speed camera systems from SODASUS, Simicon and NEROline pose cyber risks including undocumented remote access.
Slovakia's National Security Authority (NBÚ) warned of a significant cyber threat tied to several road speed camera products: NERO R-ONE units sold by Cyprus-based SODASUS, and Cordon-series cameras made by Russia's Simicon and sold by Croatia's NEROline. A security analysis requested by the Interior Ministry found weak protections, mismatches between documented and actual communication settings and software versions, unclear hardware/software provenance, and pre-configured remote-access mechanisms outside operator control. NBÚ warned that compromised cameras could expose vehicle and licence-plate data, tamper with records, or serve as a foothold into public-sector networks lacking segmentation. The Interior Ministry reportedly removed the units from its pilot deployment and asked the supplier to replace them with equipment meeting Slovak and EU security requirements.
