McDonald Hopkins Associate Joelle Dvir was quoted in the recent MarineLog article "Cybercrime on the Seas" by Maura Keller.

In the piece, Keller writes: 

According to Dvir, last year Israeli cybersecurity company Naval Dome reported that cyberattacks on the maritime industry’s operational technology systems increased by 900% over the preceding three years.

“Focusing on maritime cybersecurity is crucial not only due to the rising attacks, but given how impactful the seas are in our daily life,” Dvir says. “Ninety percent of trade is by water and nearly 100% of transoceanic data traffic is transmitted under water through undersea cables. As the maritime industry moves towards the use of autonomous vessels, the threat of remote access to the vessels’ controls leading to high jacking is serious. It is essential for the maritime industry to keep abreast of cyber-threats.”
