Events: The health care clinic’s network security appliance (combined router/firewall/wireless access point) was hacked and passwords were cracked. Configuration changes to this device opened the network to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. The result of this attack prevented access to patient records and insurance claims as part of their daily routine. The network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) sensor had been previously disabled because of degradation of network performance caused by the device

this weakness at this point. This can be a direct in for someone that knows what they are doing not to mention if someone just wanted to corrupt the system they could plant a virus and destroy a lot of information. This would be classified as a software security weakness. Since contractors, customer and clients have access to the company network, it would be best for everyone if more security measure were taken to protect everyone involved. Trade
