Brief from today's (October 19) daily NERC Security Call:
SC's -No new information NIPC - Cyber Notes: There's a new hacking tool out to exploit a bug, it's called Secure Shell. System operators have gotten remote scans attempting to run shells. There is rumor of a new Microsoft worm set to run November 11 called "Redesi Worm" DOE - Continue at SECON level 3 modified. Note: SECON-3 is used when an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists and may increase access controls to include additional personnel and vehicle barriers. NERC -Continue in Alert level 2.5, something between full alert status and heightened alert. ECAR/MET Security Coordinator suggests that ECAR members continue to evaluate their security measures and take action that they deem appropriate to protect the system and their investment. ECAR/MET reminds the ECAR members that if Federal Agencies discover that one of your facilities is the target of a credible threat, that they will notify you directly of such threat. You are asked to notify the ECAR/MET Security Coordinator of any and all suspicious activities that occur on or near critical transmission facilities and power plants, as well as the appropriate law enforcement authorities. This information is for dissemination within the industry only. Please do not make available to any public posting. Daniel R. Boezio ECAR/MET Security Coordination Manager Transmission Security Phone: 614-413-6630 e-mail: drboezio@aep.com
