MSC Data Center Closes Following Suspected Cyber-Attack

A container shipping company has said malware could be to blame for the closure of one of its data centers last week. The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) took to Twitter on Good Friday to report a network outage issue affecting the website msc.com, which was still down at time of writing. The incident, which is thought to have occurred on Thursday, April 9, also brought down the shipping company's myMSC portal. A message posted from the Twitter account MSC Cargo on April 10 stated: "We are sorry to inform you that http://MSC.com and myMSC are currently not available as we've experienced a network outage in one of our data centers. We are working on fixing the issue."
