Physical Sabotage

A subject physically damages, destroys, contaminates, obstructs, or degrades organizational equipment to impair availability, integrity, monitoring, safety, or operational capability. This may include damage to switches, routers, servers, firewalls, storage devices, endpoints, mobile devices, telecommunications equipment, racks, ports, connectors, screens, removable media, sensors, or monitoring devices.

A subject physically disconnects, removes, loosens, or tampers with data or communications infrastructure to degrade, interrupt, or prevent organizational operations. This may include network cabling, fiber links, patch panel connections, transceivers, telecommunications cabling, console cables, storage interconnects, or monitoring and telemetry data feeds.

A subject physically interferes with non-power facility systems that support organizational operations, safety, security, continuity, or environmental stability. This may include HVAC systems, cooling systems, fire suppression systems, water systems, environmental controls, communications risers, cable ducts, plant-room systems, or facility infrastructure supporting production, warehousing, laboratory, or operational spaces.

A subject physically interrupts, disables, damages, manipulates, or interferes with electrical power systems that support organizational equipment, facilities, or operations. This may include pulling power leads, powering off equipment, switching off rack power distribution units, tripping breakers or isolators, damaging power supply units, tampering with UPS systems, interfering with generators, or damaging electrical distribution equipment.
