Cyber-Attack and the Rise of Autonomous Ships | Chief MAKOi

In this episode, I explain why the Dali incident couldn't have been caused by a cyber-attack. Also, we touch upon the subject of remote-controlled and autonomous ships.

You know you're content is interesting if you answer the question in the first 10 seconds of the video, but people stay until the end.

Bringing authentic FACTS and truth to the conversation. I am deeply grateful to you for stepping forth and informing us with your knowledge. The conspiracy theories are wild and thick. We need you to help restore sanity to the narrative.

[edgleason]

Like Sal said, watching Chief Makoi makes you smarter. Thanks for another good 'un, chief.

[ChiefMAKOi]

When autonomous and remote-controlled ships begin to take over, that's the time we might see the possibility of ships getting hacked.

If this was not from Chief Makoi, I'd have passed it over as clickbait. Thanks Chief!

Well done. You answered every “yeah, but what about…” scenario I could come up with. Given the pervasiveness of cyber attacks in corporate data centers I don’t fault people for wondering about this incident. You effectively and professionally addressed the issue. I hate those that simply say “not possible “, but don’t explain why. You treated the question with respect and answered it thoroughly. If more people did this, there would be a lot less “conspiracy theorists “ out there.

This is the best channel for information, especially for #breakingnews #dali #cyberattacks and the like. Thank you so very much!

[vissitorsteve]

Thank you for making sense of this despite all the crazy conspiracies.

[keinaanabdi]

Happy to see chief Makoi videos up back to back

[johnkelley]

Thanks for explaining the AI ships and the ship losing power in New York. I learn a great deal from your tutorials and I find them truly interesting.

[dalemurry]

Thanks for being a voice of reason as a subject matter expert while a bunch of talking heads on the major networks with no seafaring knowledge speculate on a variety of conspiracy theories.

Chief, thank you very much for your explanations regarding the topic of possible cyber-attack. I am VERY concerned about the vulnerability of autonomous vehicles like ships, trains and trucks to hacking. I used to work in the electronic warfare / intelligence community and am very much aware that for every "well protected" system there is someone or a group with both the knowledge and means to conduct ... let's call it "Cyber Piracy" where your autonomous ship could be hijacked and used as a weapon. A 100k or 200k ton ship, even with non-hazardous cargo can become one hell of a "battering ram" simply from her mass and speed.

Deepest respects sir. Safe voyages.

[patrickoleary]

I gotta say man. I am very impressed with your ability to explain to the layman how big ships work. I find it so hard sometimes to talk to people bc they have no idea what they're talking about, and don't listen. This is great because it forces people to listen. Again, another super informative, yet concise vid Mr. Makoi! Well done sir.
Hat Tip to you sir!

[bc-guy]

Thank you Chief! It's amazing how many UNinformed people there are out there - who are willing to make ridiculous statements and state unsubstantiated conspiracty theory - as fact. Refreshing to hear the real deal - from a Guy who knows! Thanks Chief!

[Lost-In-Blank]

As always, Chief, when one of your videos comes out it is usually the highpoint of my day. Great work !

[smurfman]

I really your videos because you know what your talking about, unlike so many others..

[toddarmstrong]

Your delivery just keeps getting better and more natural. Thanks for the content.

[rfak]

Hello chief, thanks for bring such nice content. it's nice to have someone who understands the problems and corrects misconceptions.

IT professional here. Most people are unaware of how a cyberattack works in real life. Hacking isn't some magic spell that you can cast to break any piece of technology, it's a very specific exploitation of some vulnerability inside a system. Nice Galactica reference.

Thay also forget that human errors are only the main cause of failures because humans are there to fix most problems with machinery.

[zonavarbondagoo]

It's similar to autonomous trains, planes, and cars/trucks that we keep getting told are 'the way of the future' as part of the insane push to 'net-zero'. I'm a freight train driver for work and apart from Rio Tinto's 'autohaul' system for fully captive iron ore trains on it's dedicated network, and the fully-captive Sydney Metro passenger trains, there's nothing else in the rail industry in Australia that comes close to being any level of autonomous operation.

[goldsmithy]

Thank you for the inside understanding as to the workings of a ship. I enjoy your chnnel.
