Consolidated Electronics Group, Inc. is a manufacturer and supplier
of avionics equipment to various airlines across the continental United
States. Recently, the company has laid off several employees, which left
many in the company in a disgruntled state. Now, the information
technology (IT) staff has reported to management a significant spike in
network attacks numbering in the thousands. Reports from the intrusion
detection system (IDS) indicate that two of these potential attacks may
have compromised highly classified plans for a new prototype avionics
switchboard, which is expected to revolutionize the market. The IT staff
suspects that the attacks and potential security breach may have
something to do with the recently laid off staff.
