Subject: Cyberattack shuts down Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital for
4 days
Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 16:08:56 -0500
Hi,
About 6 months ago, I did an informal survey asking if people knew on
any examples of cyberterror attacks. At the time, no one could point me
to any real attacks. A few weeks ago however, Boston’s Beth Israel
Deaconess Hospital did suffer a massive denial of service attack which
shutdown the internal computer networks for almost 4 days and forced the
hospital to cut back on its operations. The attached Boston Globe
article gives the details.
As you can see from this article, the wounds however were
self-inflicted. The shutdown of the computer network at Beth Israel
Deaconess Hospital does illustrate that critical infrastructure can be
disrupted via software. However it is still very unclear how likely
this type of disruption can be caused by an outside hacker.
After I did my survey, I did find three examples of cyberattacks on
critical infrastructure:

As two of these cases illustrate, the insider threat is generally
greater than the outside hacker threat.
