The Port of Lisbon administration suffered a cyberattack. The representatives of Portugal’s third-largest port said the attack did not affect operations, but the cyber incident was reported to the National Cybersecurity Center and the Judiciary Police.

The Portuguese authorities did not specify the nature of the attack or who was behind it. However, the LockBit ransomware gang posted Port of Lisbon to a darknet website where cybercriminals announce their victims

As part of its ransom demands, LockBit demands close to $1.5 million to download or destroy the data it claims has been stolen from the port’s systems. Threat actors publicly state what data has been stolen to force victims into paying the ransom.


Waterloo Wellington Flight Center in Ontario, Canada, is the latest victim of the cyber attack.

Royal Ransomware gang claims the responsibility for the attack. In its Tor, the victim is listed.

The details of the attack and the amount of data are not known until now.
