In this edition of the ISO 27000 Newsletter we look at further definitions and terms related to ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 that commence with the letter “I”.
Identity Hacking Posting on the Internet or Bulletin Board(s) anonymously, pseudonymously, or giving a completely false name/address/telephone with intent to deceive. This is a controversial activity, generating much discussion amongst those who maintain the net sites. There are two cases in which problems can be caused for organizations:- - a member of staff engages in such practices and is 'found out' by net users, thereby associating the organization name with the activity. - a posting by an unrelated third party, pretending to be the organization, or a representative. In either case, if such posts are abusive, or otherwise intended to stir up an argument, a possible result is a Flame Attack, or Mail Bombing.
