This is what happened a little over two years ago in Russia, in an incident that briefly surfaced in the press and was quickly hushed up. In early 2000, officials say, a disgruntled employee of Gazprom, the oil and natural gas monopoly, helped a group of hackers seize for several hours the corporation's computer systems — including those regulating gas flow through the firm's pipelines. Gazprom subsequently denied press reports of the break-in. And, officials add, the politically powerful corporation was furious when the information was made public. "Heads rolled in the Interior Ministry after the newspaper report came out," says another senior official. But, this person adds, "We were very close to a major natural disaster."
