First the simulated cyber attack on banks by IMF, now this.
I know some believe it's all not going to happen. But in my opinion this means we're getting closer to the very thing that they're simulating (planning?).
And it seems Russia might have to play the bad guy this time.
"European Union governments will launch later this week a large-scale simulation of cyberattacks against multiple member states.
Participants will be confronted with attacks on their supply chains and some spillover socio-economic effects in other member states, before having to coordinate public communications and a diplomatic response, according to people familiar with the matter and documents seen by Bloomberg.
....
The EU simulation comes amid concerns that Russia could couple any aggressive act toward Ukraine with cyberattacks directed at the West.
One of the EU documents cites the recent hack against the software company SolarWinds Corp., which according to U.S. and U.K. intelligence assessments was carried out by Russian intelligence and affected companies on both sides of the Atlantic.
...it will be modeled on incidents that have taken place or could occur in the near future. "
