Intruder Intended to Hack NIWA Supercomputer in New Zealand

Last week, unknown intruder has broken and hacked the supercomputer of New Zealand’s organization named National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. However, he was unable to inflict any kind of significant damage. After this incident, John Morgan, the Chief Executive Officer of NIWA acknowledged in front of the surveillance news analysts and public that an unauthorized individual has accessed the computer system. Thus, after the incident, IBM known as the manufacturer of various supercomputer devices and cyber security center of NZD Government will check and at the same time will restore supercomputer before starting it again. 

However, Mr. Morgan said that the intruder failed to access any of the machine or device storing sensitive and crucial data. Instead, the hacker has only able to access FitzRoy computer installed in the year 2010 by NIWA experts at its facility located in Welllington. Main role of this computer device is to research and predict for weather and climatic condition in the city. “FitzRoy is based on an IBM System P575 Power6 supercomputer with supporting systems, and is similar to the machine used by the UK's MetOffice.” Read a similar type of update from here. 

Indeed the entry of an intruder into an incredible property of New Zealand-based organization and intention towards hacking of supercomputer devices is definitely a big challenge for both organizations and individuals involved in security sector. Hence, it is essential for experienced people involved in dealing with security and surveillance systems to apply some innovative technologies or solutions in the attempt to prevent such outrageous situations in NZD and in other parts of the world. 

Here comes the role of advanced IA i.e. Interaction Analytics systems introduced by Skylex Voice Solutions of Israel. Although, currently the product is used in call center and telecom companies, but later on company and its professionals are planning to apply it for resolving wide range of security issues. IA system is available to people with various types of modular engines or platforms, like call flow and emotional analysis modules, keyword spotting modules, text messages, estimation of calls and personnel mentoring modules.
