NIPC Daily Report 01 February 2002 The NIPC Watch and Warning Unit compiles this report to inform recipients of issues impacting the integrity and capability of the nation's critical infrastructures. Kansas City state of emergency. The mayor of Kansas City declared a state of emergency on 29 January after 270,000 customers lost power due to a winter storm that knocked out power lines, blew transformers and cut heat to thousands of homes. Kansas City Power and Light said they are seeking help from other electric companies to restore power to its customers, but advised full power may not be restored for a few days. (Kansas City Star, 31 Jan) Securing WLANs and LANs end-to-end. Despite the plethora of security risks associated with wireless LAN (WLAN) technology, organizations large and small are integrating WLAN into their already established wired infrastructures. Specific technical problems exist, and remedial actions need to be taken to reduce vulnerabilities. The overarching problem is that most companies do not effectively apply the same security policies and standards to their wireless environments that they use for wired environments carrying data of similar sensitivity. (SC Magazine, 31 Jan) Crackers exploit Cisco LAN switch flaw. Cisco Catalyst switches, series 4000, 5000 and 6000 and also 2948G and 2900 models running CatOS are affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability that can cause the switch to reload and, if repeated, could bring about a denial of service attack. Cisco warns this vulnerability has already been exploited. Other Cisco LAN switches and routers are immune. (The Register, 31 Jan) CIA: Water facilities are potential terrorist targets. The CIA reports that extremist groups appear most interested in using chemicals like cyanide salts to do widespread damage to food or water supplies. The threat of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear materials appears to be rising, but terrorists probably will continue to favor conventional tactics such as bombings and shootings. Since 11 September, water-related agencies and organizations have held meetings and seminars on water security and the US Environmental Protection agency is working with water and wastewater facilities to help them assess vulnerability, then develop the best ways to make the facilities more secure.
