"Cyber-Terrorism
on the rise in America."
Computer security company reports 200% increase
in foreign attacks against businesses since September 11.
STAMFORD, October 11, 2001:
Computronix Security Systems, Inc. (CSSI) announced today
that cyber-attacks against its clientele have exceeded 150
attempts per day - - more than twice the pre-September 11
average.
"More than half of the attacks originate from overseas,"
stated Barry Monies, CSSI's President & CEO, "this
is clearly an indication of the escalating animosity toward
anything American. They're trying to hurt us where we do
business."
On October 1, 2001, in addition to standing alerts, the
FBI issued lists of most-likely terrorist exploits in corporate
computer systems. The list includes the following warning:
"If you have ever used an installation program to install
system or service software (as nearly every company has),
and you have not removed unnecessary services and installed
all security patches, then your computer system is vulnerable
to hacker attack."
Formerly a division of five-year-old Stamford-based Computronix,
LLC. (CPX), the new company is seeing substantial growth
as awareness of cybercrime increases. "People now realize
that there's a danger," Monies explained, "Information
security flaws lead to physical danger. If a cyber-terrorist
wants to know your whereabouts, all he needs to do is read
your company calendar."
