France is probing possible foreign interference after a
passenger ferry was infected with malware that could allow
the ship to be remotely controlled, the interior minister
said Wednesday.
A Latvian was arrested and charged after the malware was
found on a ferry with a capacity of over 2,000 passengers
called the Fantastic, belonging to Italian shipping company
GNV, while it was docked in France's Mediterranean port
of S|?te, Paris prosecutors said.
. . .
This is a LARGE ferry ... if it had been directed
to crash into something, or another ship, it would
have been a disaster.
The question - how many OTHER ships in the world
have been likewise infected ? Cruise ships ? Oil
tankers ? Gigantic freighters ? Are airliners
immune ?
