Location
Location description
Geographical zone: North (North America). The developmental level
is high and the political climate is stable.
The piqlVault is situated in an urban area, located centrally in the city.
The scenario takes place in the future, 2244, as it presupposes an
imagined situation in which there are sufficient tensions between two
highly developed military nations to make armed conflict imminent.
The time period is 0-30/50 years, as the value is time-sensitive, i.e.
once the military technology is sufficiently outdated it will be of no
interest to spy on. The scenario is also a risk for the present, so long as
the Piql Preservation Services store information which others are
willing to go to great lengths to gain access to.
Environment
description
The climate zone is a warm temperate climate. It is spring, in the end
of April. The local weather conditions are fairly mild and dry: 12°
Celsius with a relative humidity of 69 %.
The plant of the malware happens in the middle of the night without
being detected.
Production site
description
The scenario takes place during the production of the piqlFilm. The
setting is therefore the production site, which is situated in a standard
office building. The Piql computer, the piqlWriter and the piqlReader
are all located in the same large production room, whereas the
processing room and equipment is located elsewhere.
The productions site is regulated through ventilation to uphold the ISO
standards governing levels of humidity and temperature.
Local safety measures
All safety measures required by Piql AS are in place, see section 5.5.1
for details.
Local security
measures
All security measures required by Piql AS are in place.
Consequences
Outer building
The physical infrastructure of the building and the storage room is not
affected during the incident.
Production site
The structural integrity of the production site is not affected by the
incident. However, the Piql IT system, as part of the Piql Preservation
Services, is breached. A state X employee and professional hacker is
able, with the full weight and resources of state X behind him/her, to
breach the security software of the Front-End code and gain access
into the Piql computer system. Here, the client data of state Y is being
prepared for transfer over to the computer connected to the piqlWriter,
