Sailors navigating the blocked Strait of Hormuz face a new threat: digital pirates demanding cryptocurrency for safe passage. Maritime risk firm MARISKS warns these messages, impersonating Iranian authorities, are fraudulent. Hundreds of ships and thousands of seafarers are stranded, with at least one vessel reportedly fired upon after paying a fake fee.
