Gozo Channel, the ferry operator connecting Malta's islands, confirmed it was targeted in a cyberattack on Tuesday. The company said the incident impacted certain internal IT systems but was quickly contained thanks to existing infrastructure safeguards and contingency protocols.
Ferry services were not disrupted. The company emphasized that all vessels continue to run on their normal schedule and that operations remain fully unaffected.
Technical teams are currently working to restore the administrative systems that were impacted, and the company plans to bring in specialist cybersecurity forensic experts to support the investigation and recovery effort.
