Data modification or destruction

The general risks posed to a network by an unauthorized user includes: unauthorized use of network resources to transport data, modification or deletion of data, disclosure of data, and use of network resources to deny legitimate use of services.

These threats can happen when changing or deleting sensitive fields in a message, like labels, attributes, recipient address, and originating address/identity. These threats can also occur as random modifications of valid messages, data or programs.
