"Australians getting ready for Christmas this week had reason to believe even
the best of preparations were not enough after a cyberattack hit all its major
ports.
DP World, which operates container ports in Australia and the region, first
detected problems last Friday so unplugged its systems to minimise the impact
while it examined what had happened.
While operations resumed at the ports Monday, the cause is still unclear and
the incident continues to be investigated.
With responsibility for about 40% of freight movement at Australian ports, and
a significant 10% of global trade through its international operations, the
attack disrupted the flow of goods coming from ports DP World operates.
Deliveries of import items such as videogames, air-conditioners, furniture and
pharmaceuticals were held up.
As well, Australian exports of goods including processed meat, dairy products
and fruits, all with limited shelf life, were delayed."
