Computer Crime Policy and Programs
Jr., Albert, Robert S. Marcella, Greenfield · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2002
On March 8, 2001, the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) issued the NIPC Advisory 01-003, an update to the NIPC Advisory 00-060, “E-Commerce Vulnerabilities,” dated December 1, 2000. This advisory is an update to the NIPC Advisory 00-060, “E-Commerce Vulnerabilities,” dated December 1, 2000. Since the advisory was published, the FBI has continued to observe hacker activity targeting victims associated with e-commerce or e-finance/banking businesses. In many cases, the hacker activity had been ongoing for several months before the victim became aware of the intrusion. The NIPC emphasizes the recommendation that all computer network systems administrators check relevant systems and consider applying the updated patches as necessary, especially for systems related to e-commerce or e-banking/ financial businesses. The patches are available on Microsoft’s Web site.
