Coast Guard, FBI board US-bound foreign ships in order to probe for cyberattacks
US Coast Guard and FBI boarded two foreign tankers bound for the US after indications their vessel networks were compromised, investigating possible Iranian involvement.
The Coast Guard and FBI conducted joint offshore security boardings of two commercial ships in the Gulf of Mexico on August 21 and 24 to examine their operational and IT systems following indications both networks were compromised. The vessels reportedly carried oil and natural gas, and one was hacked in the Strait of Gibraltar and lost communications for over 30 hours. No operational disruptions, vessel instability, or environmental impacts have been reported, and authorities are investigating whether Iran or another group exploiting US-Iran tensions was behind the attacks.

Cyberattack on UK Airport Operator MAG Exposes Data of 8.7 Million Customers Across Three Airports
Manchester Airports Group breach exposed email addresses, phone numbers and vehicle registrations of about 8.7 million customers across three UK airports.
Manchester Airports Group (MAG) disclosed that an unauthorized third party accessed customer data for roughly 8.7 million people across Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports. Exposed data covers car park, lounge and fast-track bookings and Wi-Fi sign-ups, including email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registration numbers and postcodes; no bank or payment details were stored and no flight operations were disrupted. MAG learned of the incident on August 25 after attackers breached the system over the weekend, contained it, hired external security experts and suspended its Manage My Booking service as a precaution. The breach lands during peak summer travel and adds pressure on UK infrastructure operators after recent incidents at Jaguar Land Rover, M&S, Harrods, Co-op and a UK power plant.
