Maroochy Shire Sewage Spill Case Study Student’s Name Institution Affiliation The Maroochy
Shire Sewage Spill case study is as story of an Australian man who was sent to prison for two
years. He was found guilty of hacking into the Maroochy Shire, Queensland computerized waste
management system and caused millions of liters of raw sewage to spill out into local parks,
rivers and even the grounds of a Hyatt Regency hotel. The Maroochy dore District Court heard
that 49-year-old Vitek Boden had conducted a series of electronic attacks on the Maroochy Shire
sewage control system after a job application he had made was rejected by the area's Council. At
the time he was employed by the company that had installed the system. Boden made at least 46
attempts to take control of the sewage system during March and April 2000. On 23 April, the
date of Boden's last hacking attempt, police who pulled over his car found radio and computer
equipment. Later investigations found Boden's laptop had been used at the time of the attacks
and his hard drive contained software for accessing and controlling the sewage management
system. Vitek should have appealed to the board if he felt that the application was wrongly
rejected. The situation should have been handled before Vitek hacking the system. The reason
for this is because he affected the larger populace and environment by his act.
The sewage spill was significant. It polluted over 500 metres of open drain in a residential area
and flowed into a tidal canal. Cleaning up the spill and its effects took days and required the
deployment of considerable resources. "Marine life died, the creek water turned black and the
stench was unbearable for residents," said Janelle Bryant, investigations manager for the
Australian Environmental Protection Agency.

Maroochy Shire Sewage Spill Case Study Student’s Name Institution Af.pdf

  • 1. Maroochy Shire Sewage Spill Case Study Student’s Name Institution Affiliation The Maroochy Shire Sewage Spill case study is as story of an Australian man who was sent to prison for two years. He was found guilty of hacking into the Maroochy Shire, Queensland computerized waste management system and caused millions of liters of raw sewage to spill out into local parks, rivers and even the grounds of a Hyatt Regency hotel. The Maroochy dore District Court heard that 49-year-old Vitek Boden had conducted a series of electronic attacks on the Maroochy Shire sewage control system after a job application he had made was rejected by the area's Council. At the time he was employed by the company that had installed the system. Boden made at least 46 attempts to take control of the sewage system during March and April 2000. On 23 April, the date of Boden's last hacking attempt, police who pulled over his car found radio and computer equipment. Later investigations found Boden's laptop had been used at the time of the attacks and his hard drive contained software for accessing and controlling the sewage management system. Vitek should have appealed to the board if he felt that the application was wrongly rejected. The situation should have been handled before Vitek hacking the system. The reason for this is because he affected the larger populace and environment by his act. The sewage spill was significant. It polluted over 500 metres of open drain in a residential area and flowed into a tidal canal. Cleaning up the spill and its effects took days and required the deployment of considerable resources. "Marine life died, the creek water turned black and the stench was unbearable for residents," said Janelle Bryant, investigations manager for the Australian Environmental Protection Agency.
