Hackers attack regularly, not a day goes by without an attempt

(B2) Attacks resumed steadily from then on. Besides the gang of "Harardare" who took the fishing boat hostage, thealakrana, a team continues to operate in the Gulf of Aden between the Yemeni coast and Bossaso. A merchant ship, the MV Sea Green, was attacked on Monday evening by two skiffs armed with AK 47s and RPGs. The evasive maneuvers carried out by the sailors and the intervention of a ship and a helicopter from the anti-piracy coalition succeeded in thwarting the attack, according to the military of Atalanta. A colored skiff, about 10 meters long, accompanied by two other camouflaged skiffs, was also reported in the Red Sea, in the Strait of Bab el Mandab, as having attempted an attack on a chemical tanker on Friday.
