A ransomware attack that was reported across Europe and around the world shut down the Port of Los Angeles’ largest terminal Tuesday.
Operations were halted at the APM Terminal, owned by Danish shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk, at about 6 a.m.
Maersk issued a statement confirming that it was “hit as part of a global cyber attack named Petya, affecting multiple sites and select business units. We are responding to the situation to contain and limit the impact and uphold operations.’”
