Hacktivists claim cyber-sabotage of 116 Iranian ships

Posted on March 21, 2025 by Dissent

Risky Biz Newsletter reports:

An anti-regime hacktivist group has claimed credit over a cyberattack that crippled the on-ship communication systems of 116 Iranian ships.

The ships are operated by the National Iranian Tanker Company (50) and the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Company (66).

A group named LabDookhtegan took credit for the sabotage. The attack allegedly targeted the VSAT satellite communication systems of the two companies, where the group wiped data storage devices.

LabDookhtegan claimed the two companies had used their ships to resupply the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, which has been attacking ships passing through the Bab-el-Mandeb straight and disrupting global commerce for the past year.
