Few companies providing security onboard ships sailing through "High Risk Area" (HRA) were subject to hacker attacks back in 2011. Pirates successfully accessed sensitive **data** on vessels movement, their cargo and insurance. Using that, they were able to plan their further actions and request ransom. Those attacks had the same scenario -"key log" malwares were used to record each keyboard press, and send the logs further to pirates' e-mail addresses (Frodl, 2012).
