every thing is 'fly by wire' now. computers control damn near all systems. navigation is done by GPS. its 'fail-safe' & there is no direct physical link like cables to throttle & rudder control like the old days even the bow thrusters...
soooo gps gets hacked, critical systems like steerage get wormed & the ship has zero control at the helm. step on the brakes & crank the wheel all you want. it does nothing like driving on an icy lake with bald tires, more or less
Can someone who is knowledgeable in the shipping industry elaborate how a ship can come under a cyber attack?
