Cyber Warfare
|
|
Tweet |
| This week, the US government is conducting Cyber Storm III, the largest simulated computer attack to date. The drill is being conducted by the Department of Homeland Security to test the ability of government agencies and private companies to identify and defuse a cyber attack in progress. And as the simulated attack takes place in the US, some analysts are saying that the Stuxnet code affecting industrial systems in Iran and elsewhere around the world may have been produced by a government. We'll talk about cyber warfare and computer security. |
