Bristol Airport Ransomware Attack

(September 17, 2018)

The Bristol, UK airport was the target of a ransomware attack late last week, which led the airport to take down several applications, including one that provides data to the flight information screens, to contain the attack. Airport staff turned to whiteboards and markers to provide passengers with flight information. By Sunday, September 16, screens in key locations had been restored while the airport worked to mitigate the situation.

[Editor Comments]

[Pescatore] Good to check if your incident response procedures/playbooks support a rapid decision to shut down peripheral applications before core business apps can be impacted. FedEx and Maersk alone are publicly quoting over $1B in costs due to being impacted by NotPetya. In many cases where prevention failed, rapid and accurate reaction limited damage. Two days of whiteboards showing flight times is way better than two days of plane delays.

[Murray] Secure copies of our data and programs are the security measure of last resort. Such copies enable us to recover from otherwise unanticipated events. However, historically backup plans assumed that the lost or damaged data would be limited to a small portion of our data and that recovery time would not be an issue. Going forward we must anticipate the loss of all or most of our data at once and that we must be able to recover all of it in hours to days. This is a capability that goes beyond simple copies.
