Global shipping routes are crucial for world trade, but are vulnerable to cyber threats like GPS Spoofing and AIS Hijacking.
GPS spoofing involves fake signals altering a vessel's location, while AIS Hijack manipulates AIS messages for malicious purposes.
Recent incidents include GPS errors in the Black Sea, fake AIS signals leading to unauthorized waters, and cloaked fishing vessels engaging in illegal activities.
To enhance maritime cybersecurity, measures like integrating PKI into AIS broadcasting, using machine learning for anomaly detection, and implementing next-gen GPS encryption are recommended.
