We reached out to Ömer Yılmaz, the cyber security team leader of the company, who detected a cyber security vulnerability in port operation systems. Emphasizing that the danger was critical, Yılmaz said, “If the hackers had seized it. Which container would be loaded on which ship to the ships in the ports could be changed, changes could be made on where to go on the containers. Let me tell you, the hacker who entered the system could have sent the container load to be sent to Nigeria to America. “A great danger has been overcome all over the world. If this danger had not been noticed, the critical gap would still have continued. With this criticality, there may be disruptions in the ports and may lead to delays in deliveries,” he said.
