From the excellent folks at the International Chamber of Commerce Commercial Crime Services International Maritime Bureau's Live Piracy Map, IMB Piracy & Armed Robbery Map 2018 a look at how piracy and armed robbery looked in 2018 as compared to 2017:

2018

2017

Drilling down to the area offshore Nigeria in the Gulf of Guinea for 2018:

And in the South China Sea Region:

Worth noting that the Arabian Sea especially off Somalia, once a hotbed of piracy, has not been very active in either 2017 or 2018.

On the other hand, the war in Yemen has spilled over to impact some shipping, as has been noted throughout the year.

Note that the WTS report refers to a U. S.- Computer Emergency Readiness Team (U.S.-CERT) Alert Russian State-Sponsored Cyber Actors Targeting Network Infrastructure Devices:

... FBI has high confidence that Russian state-sponsored cyber actors are using compromised routers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to support espionage, extract intellectual property, maintain persistent access to victim networks, and potentially lay a foundation for future offensive operations.

DHS, FBI, and NCSC urge readers to act on past alerts and advisories issued by the U.S. and U.K. Governments, allied governments, network device manufacturers, and private-sector security organizations. Elements from these alerts and advisories have been selected and disseminated in a wide variety of security news outlets and social media platforms. The current state of U.S. network devices—coupled with a Russian government campaign to exploit these devices—threatens the safety, security, and economic well-being of the United States.

The purpose of this TA is to inform network device vendors, ISPs, public-sector organizations, private-sector corporations, and small office home office (SOHO) customers about the Russian government campaign, provide information to identify malicious activity, and reduce exposure to this activity.
