Maersk applies new IT security systems after malware attack
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A.P. Moller-Maersk
"This virus attack was a previously unseen type of malware, and updates and patches applied to both the (Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT)) Windows systems and our antivirus (program) were not an effective protection in this particular case," Maersk said in a statement.
"In response to this new type of malware, we have put in place different and further protective measures," it added.
Maersk also said that while operations and communications were significantly affected by the virus attack, it had seen no known data breach or data loss to third-parties. Neither had the virus spread between networks or across the Internet, it said.
