Greek firms scan computer systems as Iran war raises cyberattack risks

Greek shipowners and other companies are scanning their computer systems for evidence of cyberattacks after advice from the National Cybersecurity Authority, two sources said on Wednesday following incidents that have been linked to the Iran war.

The authority last week sent an advisory, seen by Reuters, to security officers of shipping companies, banks and firms in the transport, telecommunications, health and energy sectors, a source at the authority said, adding that the move was pre-emptive.
