Wall Street To Hold Quantum Dawn 2, Cyber-Attack Drill

Posted by samzenpus on from the protect-ya-neck dept.

BioTitan writes "It will be determined whether Wall Street could withstand a coordinated, large-scale cyberattack during the Quantum Dawn 2 exercise on July 18. Top firms will work together and with the government to find weak points in their systems. The exercise is a major shift from the first Quantum Dawn in November 2011, which simulated a physical terrorist attack on Wall Street (there was no physical exercise, it was all behind computers), and had firms try to prevent a mock stock market from crashing."

    Doesn't matter.

    We're looking for holes that work AGAINST the interests of big money, not FOR them.
