p. 158 Symantec Corporation Internet Security Threat Report 2013 :: Volume 18 GOVERNMENT ThREAT ACTIVITy TRENDS • The Financial Services and Transportation sectors were predominantly targeted by Web server attacks in 2012. These two sectors contribute to the majority of Web server attacks seen in critical infrastructure sectors overall. This may indicate that attackers were specifically targeting these sectors and attempting to disrupt Web services, which are the backbone of these sectors. • Shellcode/Exploit attacks have become the most common for the government sector and healthcare. A shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability. It is called “shellcode” because it typically starts a command shell from which the attacker can control the compromised machine. Shellcode can either be local or remote, depending on whether it gives an attacker control over the machine it runs on (local) or over another machine through a network (remote). • DoS attacks predominate Biotech, Telecommunications and Utilities sectors, attempting to disrupt services and communications within them. Government Threat Activity Endnotes 01 SIC codes are the standard industry codes that are used by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to identify organizations belonging to each industry.
