Early Tuesday morning the Singaporean-Flagged Cargo Ship crashed into the supports and took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.
The M/V Dali can be seen suffering a Total Loss of Power at least Twice before the Crash.
But there’s more to the story.
DC Draino reported on a CISA Conference in February 2024 (just last month) where the US government confirmed that China compromised US infrastructure via cyber attacks – including transportation.
DC Draino: Feb 2024: The US Gov’t confirmed China compromised US-Infrastructure via cyber attacks…to include *TRANSPORTATION*
CISA and its U.S. Government partners have confirmed that this group of PRC state-sponsored cyber actors has compromised entities across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in cyberspace, including communications, energy, *TRANSPORTATION*, and water and wastewater, in the United States and its territories.
The data and information CISA and its U.S. Government partners have gathered strongly suggest the PRC is positioning itself to launch destructive cyber-attacks that would jeopardize the physical safety of Americans and impede military readiness in the event of a major crisis or conflict with the United States.

Have you not read the thread headline?
I don’t care about the extraneous speculation.
There are reports on the Chicom cyber hacking but no one posted any. This is the only post that touches on it.
There is a post on Gateway that shows that the ships capt. did most everything right from communicating with the coast guard,port authorities and others that the ship was out of control.
They also put their anchor out to drag the ship a bit slower. However,if you look at the video closely you will see that a turn to the super structure of the bridge was made late in the ships path toward the bridge.
That makes no sense.
There is a group called Volt Typhoon which uses living off the land techniques as opposed to other hacking methods What is Living off the Land attack?
https://darktrace.com/blog/living-off-the-land-how-hackers-blend-into-your-environment Living off the Land is a strategy which involves threat actors leveraging the utilities readily available within the target organization's digital environment to move through the cyber kill chain. This is a popular method because It is often cheaper, easier, and more effective to make use of an organization's own infrastructure in an attempt to attack rather than writing bespoke malware for every heist. easier to spot like APT31 which uses malware easier to spot:
The charged defendants’ roles in the conspiracy consisted of testing and exploiting the malware used to conduct these intrusions, managing infrastructure associated with these intrusions, and conducting surveillance and intrusions against specific U.S. entities.,
IMHO,its more likely that volt typhoon using the living off the land technique of using only methods commonly used by those being hacked is likely responsible,but in the end who knows.
