This week’s Maritime Intelligence Brief (MIB) brings together the signals that matter to operators, insurers, and security teams: shifting state posture, piracy and maritime crime patterns, and the cyber campaigns increasingly targeting real-world maritime workflows.
What we’re tracking this week
1) West Africa: Nigeria maritime security picture shifts
2) Black Sea: commercial shipping risk rises again
3) Gulf of Aden: naval posture remains a key factor
4) Maritime crime: Singapore Straits in the spotlight
5) Cyber security abroad: active campaigns and exposed infrastructure
The cyber section tracks multiple developments, including RAT malware spread via LinkedIn messages and DLL sideloading, North Korean “PurpleBravo” activity, and Fortinet firewall configuration changes, all relevant to ship/shore networks and third-party access pathways.
