Anubis Ransomware Attackers Demand $10 Million in Bitcoin From Adriatic Port Authority

Italy’s Adriatic port authority oversees cargo flows, customs operations and supply-chain coordination in the port area. After the Anubis ransomware breached its core systems, cargo-tracking and customs-clearance services were paralyzed, while employee data was leaked. The incident highlights the cybersecurity and cross-border logistics risks facing critical infrastructure such as ports.

As of July 20, 2026, the Anubis hacking group was demanding a $10 million ransom in Bitcoin from the port authority. The authority has refused to pay and is negotiating to buy time to restore its systems, while addressing disruptions to cargo-tracking and customs services and the fallout from the leaked data.
