National Infrastructure Protection Center
Terrorist Interest in Water Supply and SCADA Systems
Information Bulletin 02-001
29 January 2002


NIPC Information Bulletins communicate issues that pertain to the critical
national infrastructure and are for information purposes only.

A computer that belonged to an individual with indirect links to USAMA BIN
LADIN contained structural architecture computer programs that suggested the
individual was interested in structural engineering as it related to dams
and other water-retaining structures. The computer programs included CATIGE,
BEAM, AUTOCAD 2000 and MICROSTRAN, as well as programs used to identify and
classify soils using the UNIFIED SOIL CLASSIFICATION SYTEM.

In addition, US law enforcement and intelligence agencies have received
indications that Al-Qa'ida members have sought information on Supervisory
Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems available on multiple
SCADA-related Web sites.  They specifically sought information on water
supply and wastewater management practices in the US and abroad.  There has
also been interest in insecticides and pest control products at several Web
sites.

Recipients can find additional information regarding posting sensitive
infrastructure-related information on Internet Web sites in NIPC Advisory
02-001 issued on 17 January 2002 at
<a href="http://www.nipc.gov/warnings/advisories/2002/02-001.htm">http://www.nipc.gov/warnings/advisories/2002/02-001.htm>.
&lt;http://www.nipc.gov/warnings/advisories/2002/02-001.htm. 
   The intent of
this advisory was to encourage Internet content providers to review the
sensitivity of the data they provide online. 

The NIPC encourages recipients of this Information Bulletin to report
information concerning criminal or terrorist activity to their local FBI
office http://www.fbi.gov/ &lt;http://www.fbi.gov/ 
 contact/fo/fo.htm or the
NIPC, and to other appropriate authorities.  Recipients may report incidents
online at http://www.nipc.gov/incident/cirr.htm
&lt;http://www.nipc.gov/incident/cirr.htm 
, and can reach the NIPC Watch and
Warning Unit at (202) 323?3205, 1-888-585-9078 or <a href="mailto:nipc.watch@fbi.gov?Subject=Re:%20(ai)%20Terrorist%20Interest%20in%20Water%20Supply%20and%20SCADA%20Systems,%20Information	%20Bulletin%2002-001%2526In-Reply-To=%2526lt;812047B9DE7CD311B68500
