On December 27, 2023, threat actor “APTlord” announced on the dark web forum RAMP that they were selling source code and other information owned by marinetraffic[.]com, which was allegedly obtained by the theft of backup data from web-based Git repository GitLab. Marinetraffic[.]com is an open-source analytics platform that provides real-time information on maritime vessels and activity around the globe. Some of the information available includes:
- The geographic positions of vessels (accuracy and update frequencies vary between vessels)
- Vessel details (such as photographs, country of operation, speed, design, and other physical attributes)
- Journey details (such as originating locations and destinations and expected arrival times)
- Information relating to maritime infrastructure (such as port locations, capacity, traffic statistics, and weather conditions)
