Full timeline through 2026

2020 — Ragnar Locker ransomware; bookings outage and suspected customer data exposure

Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. French container liner CMA CGM took core booking and agency interfaces offline after a September 2020 intrusion widely attributed to Ragnar Locker, telling Reuters and Supply Chain Dive it suspected parallel data exposure while rebuilding connectivity from segmented backups. Maritime trade coverage cited criminal claims of hundreds of thousands of customer contact rows amid operational recovery. Exposed categories include Actor-claimed customer contact and employer metadata; corporate statements used cautious 'suspected breach' language. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the cma-cgm-ragnar-locker2020 and canonical BreachHistory entry.

Patterns and analysis

  • Ransomware and extortion — appears across multiple CMA CGM catalog entries; prioritize controls that address this class of failure.
  • Record-count hygiene — BreachHistory indexes actor-cited figures separately from company-confirmed totals; read each row's technicalWriteup before treating counts as fact.
  • 2026 monitoring — New disclosures roll into this timeline as they are verified or labeled unverified per catalog policy.
