Møller-Maersk fell victim to a devastating cyberattack that encrypted files across its global network, forcing employees to disconnect systems and causing widespread operational paralysis. The malware, later identified as NotPetya, spread rapidly through Maersk's infrastructure, leaving IT staff unable to restore operations and forcing the company to shut down its entire global network.
