Ransomware locked Johor–Singapore haulage manifests

Manifests lived on a desktop PC. Encryption at the causeway cut-off left trucks unable to print clearance barcodes.

Solution E on our assessment

What went wrong

Ransomware infected the PC that generated Singapore customs barcodes. Drivers could not clear at the checkpoint.

What it cost if nothing changed

Checkpoint penalties plus driver standby — about RM 94,000 for one disruption.

What we would put in place

We moved manifests off the desktop onto a production host with immutable snapshots and tighter endpoint control, so recovery does not depend on paying a ransom.

The outcome we design for

Target recovery is under 30 minutes from snapshots, with no ransom required to reprint documents.
