Cyber sabotage is an increasingly prevalent problem for clients all over the world. Industry experts say cyber crimes and cyber sabotage
are the biggest fears for 2012 based on the complexity and success of cyber crimes
committed in 2011. Anyone can be the victim of cyber sabotage, and it can take
many different forms.
Cyber sabotage investigations can be conducted for a wide range of actions, from
a harmful and libelous social networking post, all the way up to the hacking and
leaking of corporate consumer information such as credit card numbers or industry
secrets. Here are some of the damaging ways that cyber sabotage can be used:
-
Sending out false, negative, or harmful information via websites, social
networking, or blogs
- Distracting or misleading the public or authorities about someone’s true
identity, either to harm their reputation or to hide a criminal
- "Hacktivists" use illegally obtained information from computers networks
and intranets for political, social, or activist causes
- Cyber terrorism can stop, delay, or shut down machines run by computers,
such as the nuclear power plants in Iran that were nearly shut down by
hackers in 2011
- Bombarding a website with data until it is overwhelmed and incapable of
completing basic and essential functions
No matter what form cyber sabotage takes, the effects are always harmful, and
if it continues, cyber sabotage can lead to defamation of character, slander, libel,
financial loss, and diminished moral. Cyber sabotage investigations by ICS are
taken very seriously, with the goal of locating the perpetrator of the sabotage and
providing proof of the methods used. It is also important to look for any additional
information or materials stolen that have not yet been released. A thorough
investigation by ICS may involve data recovery and deleted files recovery, Technical
Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), and IP tracing.
Cell phones are a likely to become a bigger target for cyber sabotage in the future as
