WhiteArmor ransomware group claims data theft in cyberattack on Maersk's legacy system
Shipping giant Maersk confirmed unauthorized access to a local legacy system, reportedly acquired through its 2022 purchase of LF Logistics. The WhiteArmor cyber-extortion group claims to have stolen 100GB of data including nearly 30,000 driver records, plaintext passwords, purchase orders, and mobile device records. Maersk states no evidence of breach affecting its main systems or shipments and advises caution regarding security breach notifications. This incident highlights risks from inherited IT systems through acquisitions. WhiteArmor, a new threat actor active since late 2026, lists Maersk and other international companies among its victims.
