The Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority was the target of a ransomware attack Wednesday morning, and the extent and origin of the attack is under investigation by the FBI and other agencies.
The FBI is now taking lead on the investigation, working in conjunction with the Coast Guard and the Massachusetts State Police Cyber Security Unit, Coast Guard First District Petty Officer Amanda Wyrick said in an email.
There is no impact to the safety of vessel operations since the issue did not affect radar or GPS functions, according to the Authority.
Scheduled trips to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are still happening, and the Steamship Authority posted its schedules on its social media. Customers may experience some delays during the ticketing process, and customers are unable to book or change vehicle reservations online or by phone, according to the Steamship Authority.
