Japan’s busiest shipping port said Thursday it would resume operations after a ransomware attack prevented the port from receiving shipping containers for two days. The expected restoration of the Port of Nagoya, a hub for car exports and an engine of the Japanese economy, will ease concerns about any wider economic fallout from the ransomware attack. The hack forced the port to stop handling shipping containers that came to the terminal by trailer, the association said. As of midday Thursday in Japan, there was no claim of responsibility for the Port of Nagoya ransomware attack from the LockBit group on their dark-web site. Though this may be a first for Japan, ransomware and related hacks have hit ports in other countries.
