Cybershield 🦅🔥 One malicious Office document— SideWinder APT is actively targeting Nigerian maritime operators right now. Has your bridge team opened any unexpected email attachments this week? Yes or No #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅🔥 Most night collisions start with wrong light identification. Rule 22 Spotlight ⚓ Visibility of Lights The lights prescribed shall be visible at the following minimum ranges Vessels ≥ 50 m, Masthead 6 nm, Sidelight/Sternlight 3 nm Vessels 12–50 m, Masthead 5 nm (3 nm if <20 m), Sidelight/Sternlight 2 nm Vessels < 12 m, Masthead 2 nm, Sidelight 1 nm Bridge Note Know the required ranges for your vessel size. Dim or incorrect lights create confusion and risk. Have you ever struggled to identify a vessel’s lights at the required range? Reply Yes or No #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

Infostealers stole 1.7 billion credentials in just six months. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 New data shows infostealers harvested 1.7 billion credentials in the first half of 2026 alone. Stolen logins are being sold and used in further attacks at massive scale. If your team still reuses passwords or lacks multi-factor authentication, the risk is already high. How strong is your credential protection right now?#CurrentThreats

Cybershield 🦅🔥 One infected USB left on the bridge. Malware spread from the navigation computer into the ship’s OT systems. Has your vessel ever allowed personal or unknown USBs on board? Yes or No #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅🔥 Most light and shape failures happen because the wrong lights were shown or they were not visible. Rule 20 Spotlight ⚓ Application The Rules concerning lights shall be complied with in all weathers from sunset to sunrise. The lights prescribed shall also be exhibited from sunrise to sunset in restricted visibility. Bridge Note Correct lights and shapes must be shown at the right time. Wrong lights can create serious confusion. Have you ever seen a vessel showing incorrect lights or shapes? Reply Yes or No #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

This Cisco flaw is already being used in attacks. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 Attackers are actively exploiting a remote access SSL VPN vulnerability in Cisco ASA and FTD devices that allows unauthenticated denial-of-service. If your organisation uses these Cisco firewalls, prioritise the available fixes and monitor for unusual restarts. How exposed is your remote access infrastructure right now? #Cisco #CurrentThreats

Cybershield 🦅🔥 One compromised ship agent account— Attackers used it to send fake voyage instructions that reached the bridge. Has your vessel ever received unexpected voyage instructions from an agent? #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅🔥 Most restricted visibility collisions happen because vessels failed to slow down or sound the correct signals. Rule 19 Spotlight ⚓ Conduct of vessels in restricted visibility Every vessel shall proceed at a safe speed adapted to the prevailing circumstances and conditions of restricted visibility. A power-driven vessel shall have her engines ready for immediate manoeuvre. Bridge Note In fog or restricted visibility, reduce speed early and be ready to stop. Sound signals must be used correctly. Have you ever been in restricted visibility where another vessel was still moving too fast? #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

This critical flaw is already under active attack. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 A maximum-severity SAP Commerce Cloud remote code execution vulnerability is being actively exploited just days after the patch was released. If your organisation uses SAP Commerce Cloud, prioritise this update and check for any unusual activity. How fast does your team usually patch critical SAP or e-commerce systems? #ZeroDay #CurrentThreats

Cybershield 🦅🔥 One infected cargo document from a shore agent. Malware moved from the cargo computer into the ship’s operational network. Has your vessel ever received unexpected “urgent” documents from an agent? Yes or No #Cybershield #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅🔥 Most responsibility collisions happen because vessels ignore the hierarchy of Rule 18. Rule 18 Spotlight ⚓ Responsibilities between vessels A power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of: • a vessel not under command • a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre • a vessel engaged in fishing • a sailing vessel Bridge Note Power-driven vessels must give way to these categories. Know your status and act accordingly. Have you ever seen a power-driven vessel fail to give way to a restricted or fishing vessel? Reply Yes or No #COLREGs #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

Hackers are already exploiting this unpatched zero-day. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 Attackers are actively exploiting an unpatched GeoServer zero-day that allows remote code execution via SQL injection. If your organisation uses GeoServer, check your exposure and apply available mitigations immediately. How quickly does your team respond to actively exploited geospatial or mapping software flaws? #CyberSecurity #ZeroDay #CurrentThreats

Cybershield 🦅🔥 One open satellite router. Attackers moved from the internet connection straight into the ECDIS. Has your ship’s internet setup been properly segmented? Yes or No? #Cybershield #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅🔥 Most stand-on vessel collisions happen because the stand-on vessel waited too long to take action. Rule 17 Spotlight ⚓ Action by Stand-on Vessel Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course and speed. The stand-on vessel may, however, take action to avoid collision by her manoeuvre alone as soon as it becomes apparent that the vessel required to keep out of the way is not taking appropriate action. Bridge Note If the give-way vessel is not acting, you must still take action in time to avoid collision. Do not wait until it is too late. Have you ever been forced to take late action as the stand-on vessel? Reply Yes or No #COLREGs #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

Congratulations captain Bikers 🔥 The NMS 03 is proud of you

Attackers are already using the new SharePoint flaw. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 Threat actors have started exploiting a critical Microsoft SharePoint authentication bypass CVE-2026-55040 after a public proof-of-concept was released. Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication on vulnerable servers. If your organisation runs on-premise SharePoint, prioritise this patch and monitor for unusual access. How exposed is your SharePoint environment right now? #CyberSecurity #SharePoint #CurrentThreats

The weakest link was not on the ship. It was the ship’s internet connection. Cybershield 🦅🔥 The vessel was using a commercial satellite internet service. Attackers compromised a poorly secured router on board. From there they moved laterally into the ship’s business network and later reached the ECDIS. Bridge Note Satellite routers and crew Wi-Fi must be fully segmented from operational systems. One weak link can open the entire vessel. Has your ship’s internet setup ever been checked for proper segmentation? Yes or No #Cybershield #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅🔥 Most give-way failures happen because the action was too late or too small. Rule 16 Spotlight ⚓ Action by Give-way Vessel Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of another vessel shall, so far as possible, take early and substantial action to keep well clear. Bridge Note Small late alterations often create more danger. Make your action early, bold, and obvious. Have you ever seen a give-way vessel make a late or insufficient alteration? Reply Yes or No #COLREGs #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

North Korean hackers already used this zero-day before it was patched. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 Microsoft’s August Patch Tuesday fixed a Windows kernel zero-day CVE-2026-68820 that Lazarus Group had already been exploiting in the wild. The flaw allowed attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges. If you haven’t applied the latest Windows updates, do it now. How quickly does your organisation usually roll out critical Microsoft patches? #CyberSecurity #ZeroDay #CurrentThreats

The attack started ashore — and ended on the ship. Cybershield 🦅🔥 A shore-based agents computer was compromised. Attackers used it to send updated cargo documents to the vessel. The files looked legitimate. When the documents were opened on the cargo computer, the malware moved into the ship’s operational network. Bridge Note Treat every file coming from shore agents, even trusted ones, as potentially compromised. Verify through a second channel before opening on ship systems. Has your vessel ever received unexpected urgent documents from an agent? Yes or No #Cybershield #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅 Most crossing collisions happen because one vessel assumed the other would give way. Rule 15 Spotlight ⚓ Crossing Situation When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel. Bridge Note If you have a vessel on your starboard side, you are the give-way vessel. Act early and make your intention clear. Have you ever had a close crossing situation where the other vessel refused to give way? Reply Yes or No #COLREGs #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

NMS continues to demonstrate its commitment to preparing its Boys for the demands of the future by providing them with opportunities to explore emerging technologies.

A simple “port clearance document” almost cost the ship its systems. Cybershield 🦅🔥 The vessel was approaching port. An email arrived with a PDF labelled Updated Port Clearance – Urgent. It looked official. One officer opened it on the cargo computer. The malware began spreading into the ship’s network. Bridge Note Never open port or operational documents received by email without verifying the source through official channels first. Has this almost happened on your vessel? Yes or No #Cybershield #MaritimeCyberSecurity #GulfOfGuinea

COLREG Flash 🦅 Most head-on collisions happen because both vessels waited too long to alter course. Rule 14 Spotlight ⚓ Head-on Situation When two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other. Bridge Note If you are in doubt whether a head-on situation exists, assume it does and alter to starboard early. Have you ever had a close head-on situation where the other vessel delayed altering course? Reply Yes or No #COLREGs #RulesOfTheRoad #Navigation

This critical flaw is already on CISA’s exploited list. Cyber Pulse 🛡️🦅 CISA has added a critical Progress Kemp LoadMaster vulnerability CVE-2026-8037 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
