Besides technical vulnerabilities, cyber criminals also exploit the trust operators place in their computer controls. In 2013, engineering students from the University of Texas at Austin stole an $80-million mega-yacht by sending spurious global positioning signals (GPS) that caused the vessel’s navigation control computer to mistakenly redirect course and guide it to a false destination, without tripping any alarms.

Description: Cybersecurity is a matter of both technology and attitude.
Besides technical vulnerabilities, cyber criminals also exploit
the trust operators place in their computer controls.
In 2013, engineering students from the University of Texas at Austin
stole an $80-million mega-yacht by sending spurious global positioning
signals (GPS) that caused the vessel’s navigation control computer to
mistakenly redirect course and guide it to a false destination, without
tripping any alarms. The crew onboard felt the vessel slowly turn, but,
since the electronic charts showed no deviation from course, went
about their business. This raises two disquieting issues: that criminals
can corrupt a ship’s navigation system en route, and that people tend to
subordinate their knowledge and training to computer controls.
Several aspects of maritime community’s cybersecurity adventure are
addressed in this first 2016 edition of Surveyor magazine.
