(a) The software failure incident having happened again at one_organization:
The article reports that JBS SA, the world's largest meatpacker, experienced an organized cyber attack on its information systems affecting its Australian and North American units [114991]. This incident indicates a software failure within the organization due to a cybersecurity attack.
(b) The software failure incident having happened again at multiple_organization:
There is no information in the provided article about a similar incident happening at other organizations. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
design, operation |
(a) The software failure incident mentioned in Article 114991 was due to an organized cyber attack on the information systems of JBS SA, affecting its Australian and North American units. This attack disrupted operations and caused the Australian operations to shut down. The incident was attributed to an organized cybersecurity attack on the servers supporting the IT systems of JBS USA, impacting both North American and Australian operations [114991].
(b) The software failure incident also had operational implications as it disrupted normal access to IT and internet systems, making meat processing operations in Australia impossible without these systems. The shutdown of operations across several Australian states, including the impact on JBS's Primo Smallgoods business in Queensland, highlights the operational disruptions caused by the cyber attack [114991]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 114991 is classified as within_system. The article mentions that JBS USA determined it was the target of an organized cybersecurity attack affecting some of the servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems. This indicates that the failure originated from within the system itself, specifically from the cyber attack on the company's information systems [114991]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident at JBS SA was caused by an organized cyber attack on its information systems, affecting servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems [Article 114991].
(b) The incident was a result of an organized cybersecurity attack, indicating human actions were involved in introducing the contributing factors leading to the software failure [Article 114991]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
software |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 114991 was due to an organized cyber attack on the information systems of JBS SA, the world's largest meat works. The attack affected the servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems, leading to the shutdown of operations in Australia. This indicates that the failure originated from external factors (cyber attack) rather than internal hardware issues [114991].
(b) The software failure incident was specifically mentioned to be an organized cybersecurity attack on the IT systems of JBS USA, affecting both North American and Australian operations. The company stated that the incident would take time to resolve, potentially causing delays in transactions with customers and suppliers. This points to a software-related failure caused by the cyber attack [114991]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
malicious |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 114991 was malicious in nature. The article mentions that the world's largest meat works, JBS SA, was hit by an organized cyber attack on its information systems affecting its Australian and North American units. The attack was described as an "organized cybersecurity attack" targeting the servers supporting IT systems in North America and Australia. This indicates that the failure was a result of contributing factors introduced by humans with the intent to harm the system [114991]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
accidental_decisions |
The software failure incident at JBS SA was due to an organized cyber attack on its information systems, affecting its Australian and North American units [114991]. This indicates that the intent behind the software failure incident was likely 'accidental_decisions' as it was caused by external malicious actors rather than poor internal decisions. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
accidental |
(a) The software failure incident reported in Article 114991 was not attributed to development incompetence. The incident was described as an organized cyber attack on the information systems of JBS SA, affecting its Australian and North American units. This indicates that the failure was a result of a deliberate external attack rather than incompetence within the development organization.
(b) The software failure incident in Article 114991 was due to an accidental cyber attack on JBS SA's information systems. The company stated that it was the target of an organized cybersecurity attack affecting its IT systems in North America and Australia. This indicates that the failure was not accidental but rather a deliberate attack on the company's systems. |
| Duration |
temporary |
The software failure incident reported in Article 114991 was temporary. The incident caused the Australian operations of JBS SA to shut down, but the company was actively working to resolve the issue. The resolution of the incident was expected to take time, potentially delaying certain transactions with customers and suppliers. The article mentioned that the attack shut down operations across several Australian states, indicating a temporary disruption rather than a permanent failure [114991]. |
| Behaviour |
crash, other |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in this case can be categorized as a crash. The article mentions that the cyber attack on JBS SA's information systems caused its Australian operations to shut down, indicating a failure due to the system losing state and not performing its intended functions [Article 114991].
(b) omission: The article does not provide specific information indicating a failure due to the system omitting to perform its intended functions at an instance(s).
(c) timing: The article does not mention any issues related to the system performing its intended functions correctly but too late or too early.
(d) value: The article does not specify any details suggesting a failure due to the system performing its intended functions incorrectly.
(e) byzantine: The article does not describe the system behaving erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions.
(f) other: The other behavior observed in this software failure incident is the disruption of normal operations across several Australian states and the impact on transactions with customers and suppliers due to the cyber attack on JBS SA's IT systems [Article 114991]. |
