Estimate the cost of the incident (when considered finished). Actually I'd like to know too since you've been kind enough to talk about it.
Rough guestimates: Personnel Hours Rate Cost ---------------------------------------------------- senior management 6 300 1800 mid-management 6 150 900 senior consultant 16 150 2400 senior admin 8 75 600 mid-admin 8 50 400 junior admin #1 4 30 120 junior admin #2 4 30 120 junior admin #3 4 30 120 "retired" hardware 600 lost revenue 500 ---------------------------------------------------- 7560 Note that this does not include the costs of pursuing legal avenues since these are still in motion. The impact of this attack was mitigated by the availability of spare hardware on hand and reasonably fresh backups -- we pulled the drives out of the compromised host, replaced them with spares, installed the OS from CD's and restored the site content from tape.
