Kwingxelo yophicotho-zincwadi epapashwe kutshanje ngu I-NASA, yabhengeza ukuba ngo-Epreli 2018 ukuba imigewu ifikelele kwinethiwekhi yearhente yendawo kwaye Babile malunga ne-500 MB yedatha enxulumene nomsebenzi weMars.
Ngokwengxelo yophando, Abagculi bangena ngaphakathi kwiJet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), indawo yophando exhaswa ngemali yiNASA ePasadena, California. Ingxelo ikwachonga ezinye izehlo zokophula idatha kunye nokwebiwa kolwazi kwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo ye-arhente.
INASA, Kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo, i-JPL iye yafumana izehlo ezininzi zokhuseleko kwi-cyber Baye banciphisa amanqaku abalulekileyo kwinethiwekhi yekhompyuter yakho.
Ukususela ngo-2011, abahlaseli bafumana ukufikelela ngokupheleleyo kwiiseva ezili-18 Ixhasa imisebenzi ephambili yeJPL kwaye kuthiwa yeba malunga ne-87 GB yedatha.
Kutshanje, ngo-Epreli 2018, JPL ifumanise ukuba iakhawunti yomsebenzisi wangaphandle ichaphazelekile kwaye isetyenziselwa ukweba i-500MB yedatha kwenye yeenkqubo zayo eziphambili zemishini.
I-OIG inike ingxelo ngengxelo yokuba i-JPL ikhathazwe ziziphene ezininzi kulawulo Ukhuseleko lwekhompyuter olunciphisa amandla akho okuthintela, ukubona kunye nokunciphisa uhlaselo olujolise kwiinkqubo zakho nakwinethiwekhi.
Obu buthathaka kwinkqubo yezokhuseleko yeJPL butyhila iinkqubo ezahlukeneyo zeNASA kunye nedatha kuhlaselo olwahlukeneyo ngabagculi.
I-JPL isebenzisa idathabheyisi yayo yoLwazi lweTekhnoloji yoLwazi (i-ITSDB) ukulandelela nokulawula iiasethi ezibonakalayo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwinethiwekhi yayo.
Nangona kunjalo, uphicotho lufumanise ukuba uluhlu lweenkcukacha zolwazi alugqitywanga kwaye aluchanekanga, imeko ebeka emngciphekweni amandla e-JPL okubeka iliso ngokufanelekileyo, ukunika ingxelo kunye nokuphendula kwiziganeko zokhuseleko.
Iisysadmins azihlaziyi ngokulandelelana koluhlu xa usongeza izixhobo ezitsha kwinethiwekhi.
Ngokukodwa, Abali-8 kwabalawuli benkqubo abali-11 abanoxanduva lokulawula iisampulu zenkqubo yesampulu ezili-13 zafunyanwa zigcina uluhlu lwetafile eyahlukileyo yeenkqubo zabo, apho bahlaziya khona ulwazi rhoqo kwaye ngesandla kwiziko ledatha le-ITSDB.
Kwakhona, i-sysadmin yatsho ukuba ayingenisi rhoqo izixhobo ezitsha kwiziko ledatha le-ITSDB kuba umsebenzi wokuhlaziya wesiseko sedatha ngamanye amaxesha wawungasebenzi.
Emva koko ulibale ukufaka ulwazi ngezixhobo.
Ngenxa yoko, izixhobo zinokongezwa kwinethiwekhi ngaphandle kokuchongwa ngokufanelekileyo kwaye kungqinwe ngamagosa ezokhuseleko.
Ngokomzekelo, ye-cyberattack ka-Epreli 2018, eyavumela abahlaseli ukuba bebe malunga ne-500 MB yedatha kwimishini eyahlukeneyo yeNASA kwiplanethi iMars baxhaphaze obu buthathaka xa umgculeli wangena kwinethiwekhi yeJPL ngeRaspberry Pi ayigunyaziswanga ukunxibelelana nenethiwekhi yeJPL.
Abagculeli basebenzise le ndawo yokungena ukuze bangene ngaphakathi kwenethiwekhi yeJPL ngelixa bengena kwisango lenethiwekhi elabiweyo.
Eli nyathelo lavumela abahlaseli ukuba bafikelele kwiiseva egcina ulwazi malunga nemishini eya kwiMars eqhutywa yilebhu yeNASA yeJPL, apho baveze khona malunga ne-500 MB yedatha.
Isigameko sika-Epreli 2018 se-cyberattack sisebenzise ithuba lokusilela kwecandelo le-JPL ukuhamba phakathi kweenkqubo ezahlukeneyo ezinxulunyaniswe nesango, kubandakanya imisebenzi ye-JPL kunye ne-DSN.
Nje ngeziphumoNgo-Meyi ka-2018, abaPhathi bezoKhuseleko be-IT kwiziko iJohnson Space Abaqhuba iinkqubo ezifana ne-Orion All-Wheel Crew Vehicle kunye ne-International Space Station Bathathe isigqibo sokunqamula okwexeshana kwibhulorho ngenxa yezizathu zokhuseleko.
Amagosa oyika ukuba uhlaselo lwe-cyber luzokuwela kamva kwibhulorho iye kwiinkqubo zabo zemishini, ezinokuthi zifikeleleke.
Oko kwathiwa, i-NASA ayikhankanyanga nawaphi na amagama ahambelana ngqo nohlaselo lwango-Epreli 2018. Nangona kunjalo, abanye bacinga ukuba oku kunganxulunyaniswa nezenzo zeqela laseTshayina lokuqhekeza elaziwa njengegama i-Advanced Persistent Threat 10, okanye i-APT10.
