| Recurring |
one_organization |
(a) The software failure incident having happened again at one_organization:
The article reports that Australian broadcaster Nine Entertainment experienced a suspected cyber attack that led to technical difficulties affecting its live broadcasting, specifically its Sunday news bulletin. This incident is a recurrence of a similar software failure within the same organization [112796].
(b) The software failure incident having happened again at multiple_organization:
There is no information in the provided article indicating that a similar software failure incident has happened again at other organizations. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
operation |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 112796 was attributed to a suspected cyber attack on Australian broadcaster Nine Entertainment. The incident resulted in technical difficulties that prevented the airing of the Sunday news bulletin from the Sydney headquarters. The source with knowledge of the matter blamed the issue on a suspected cyber attack, indicating that the failure was likely due to external factors introduced by the attack rather than internal design flaws [112796].
(b) The operation of the system was impacted by the suspected cyber attack, leading to disruptions in live broadcasting and publishing operations at Nine Entertainment. The incident caused internet access to be unavailable at the Sydney headquarters and some publishing tools to be down, affecting the operation of the system [112796]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 112796 was primarily within_system. The failure was attributed to a suspected cyber attack on Australian broadcaster Nine Entertainment, affecting its ability to air the Sunday news bulletin and causing technical difficulties in live broadcasting. The source with knowledge of the matter blamed the issue on a malicious cyber attack, indicating that the contributing factors originated from within the system itself [112796]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident at Australian broadcaster Nine Entertainment was suspected to be due to a cyber attack, which is a non-human action [112796]. The source with knowledge of the matter blamed the technical difficulties on a suspected cyber attack, indicating that the contributing factors leading to the failure were introduced without human participation. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
hardware, software |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 112796 was suspected to be a result of a cyber attack, indicating a potential external threat targeting the network's systems. This points towards a contributing factor originating externally, possibly from hardware vulnerabilities or compromised hardware systems [112796].
(b) The software failure incident was also attributed to "technical difficulties" affecting live broadcasting, indicating internal software issues within the network's systems. The disruption in operations at Nine's publishing business, with some publishing tools being down, further suggests software-related contributing factors to the failure incident [112796]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
malicious |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 112796 was suspected to be malicious in nature. A source with knowledge of the matter blamed the technical difficulties on a suspected cyber attack, indicating that the failure was due to contributing factors introduced by humans with the intent to harm the system. The source mentioned that Nine management had informed staff that a "malicious" cyber attack was suspected, and efforts were being made to get a news bulletin out through Melbourne using a server that hadn't been compromised [112796]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
unknown |
(a) The software failure incident at Nine Entertainment, where they were unable to air their Sunday news bulletin due to a suspected cyber attack, points towards a potential case of poor_decisions. The incident was suspected to be a "malicious" cyber attack, indicating that the failure was caused by external factors beyond the control of the organization, rather than accidental_decisions [112796]. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
unknown |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 112796 was suspected to be a cyber attack on Australian broadcaster Nine Entertainment. A source with knowledge of the matter blamed the technical difficulties on a suspected cyber attack, indicating a deliberate act targeting the organization's systems [112796].
(b) The incident was described as a "malicious" cyber attack, suggesting that the failure was not accidental but rather a deliberate attempt to disrupt Nine Entertainment's operations [112796]. |
| Duration |
temporary |
(a) The software failure incident in this case appears to be temporary rather than permanent. The article mentions that Nine Entertainment was unable to air its Sunday news bulletin due to "technical difficulties" which were blamed on a suspected cyber attack. The network was working through the impacts and trying to resolve the systems to provide updates. Additionally, Nine was attempting to get a news bulletin out through Melbourne using a server that hadn't been compromised, indicating efforts to mitigate the issue and resume operations [112796]. |
| Behaviour |
crash |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in Article 112796 is related to a crash. The article mentions that Australian broadcaster Nine Entertainment was unable to air its Sunday news bulletin due to "technical difficulties" caused by a suspected cyber attack. As a result, the Weekend Today show did not go on air, and the network was working to resolve the systems impacted by the attack [112796].
(b) omission: There is no specific mention of the software failure incident being related to omission in the provided article.
(c) timing: The incident is not described as a timing-related failure in the article.
(d) value: The software failure incident is not attributed to the system performing its intended functions incorrectly in the article.
(e) byzantine: The behavior of the software failure incident in Article 112796 does not align with a byzantine failure as there is a clear indication of a suspected cyber attack causing the technical difficulties.
(f) other: The behavior of the software failure incident in the article is primarily characterized as a crash resulting from a suspected cyber attack, with the system losing its state and failing to perform its intended functions [112796]. |
