Managing Cyber Supply Chain Risks

May 15, 2013

Cyberspace has long been plagued by hackers and malware. Hackers can trace their origins to the “phone phreaks” of the 1970s, who hacked into phone systems to make free long distance calls.1 The first virus was set loose on the Internet even before it was the Internet: the Creeper virus was first detected on ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, in 1971.2 Early on, hackers and virus writers were more annoying than dangerous, but today they represent serious threats not only to individuals and businesses, but to entire nations and even the global economy. According to Norton, the global cybercrime industry – which is now dominated by organized, professional gangs – has already overtaken the global trade in heroin, cocaine and marijuana.3 Politically motivated hackers – “hacktivists” – have penetrated heavily fortified military and government intelligence networks. China has been implicated in systematic attacks on U.S. computer networks – from the Defense Department to Google to JP Morgan Chase. A 2008 Russian cyber assault crippled the essential electronic infrastructure of the Republic of Estonia.
