Pilot 1 concerns the Supply Chain Services for vehicle transportation. Vehicles Transport SC Service is a complex system which can be divided in a number of processes that involve several operations and companies (purchasing, manufacturing, stevedoring, loading, unloading, storage, transportation, inspection, pre-arrival notifications, documentation management, etc.).

The process in the port (import) starts when a vessel arrives to the terminal, with the proper documentation sent to the port authority. Then vessel dock at the terminal using the nautical-technical services (pilot, tugs and moorings). Finally the vehicles are unloaded using the terminal equipment and dockers.

Criminals hire hackers in the deep web, and start a cyber-attack to the terminal systems using an email with an attachment containing malicious code. This malware silently installs a remote access service on the computer. The criminals exploit various vulnerabilities to compromise some computers and use the administrator credential to change some vehicle locations and delivery dates in the terminal system. After that, they send own drivers to collect the vehicles. Finally, attackers delete the recorded video by the CCTV cameras exploiting some vulnerabilities in the surveillance system.
