Port authorities and operators in Romania’s Constanța are facing a wave of cyber attacks designed to disrupt the flow of Ukrainian grain exports, according to an insider report.
The source described the situation as a "hybrid war," with Russian actors targeting both institutional networks and private logistics operators to create bottlenecks and delays in the Black Sea corridor.
The digital offensive represents an escalation in tactics beyond the physical drone strikes that have previously targeted Ukrainian port infrastructure.
By attacking the administrative and operational systems in Romania, adversaries aim to induce "continuous disruptions and harassment" that could slow down the maritime export pipeline.
This shift from kinetic to cyber threats introduces new vulnerabilities for traders relying on the stability of the region’s logistics hubs.
Handelsavisen has previously reported on intensified Russian drone attacks on Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, which directly threaten the infrastructure critical for maintaining the country’s maritime export corridor.
