Australia ports operator suffers 'cybersecurity incident', suspends operations

SYDNEY (Reuters): The Australian government said on Saturday (Nov 11) that it was coordinating a response to a cybersecurity incident that forced ports operator DP World Australia to suspend operations at ports in several states.

A DP World Australia spokesperson said on Saturday that operations at impacted ports were not yet restored. A statement said the company was "working around the clock to restore normal operations safely" after the breach was detected late on Friday.
