Japan Will Stage Mock Cyberattacks
freaktheclown writes "Japan is set to start staging mock cyberattacks on various companies as precautionary exercises. According to the article: 'Japan will conduct nationwide exercises next year to prepare effectively for cyberattacks on computer networks. Mock cyberterrorists will simulate attacks on computer networks of businesses and government organizations to discover vulnerable areas, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported Wednesday. Participants in the exercises will include financial institutions, communications companies and Internet service providers, as well as the central government and local governments.'"
It's mock servers of these companies, not the real thing. This isn't any "Trial by Fire". No damage can be done.
