Cyber terror: Australia faces the storm By Suzanne Tindal, ZDNet.com.au March 10, 2008 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/security/soa/Cyber-terror-Australia-faces-the-storm/0,130061744,339286646,00.htm
in brief Cyber Storm II, the international simulation of a coordinated attack on global cyber infrastructure, starts this week. The exercise, lead by the US Department of Homeland Security, will include Australian government and industry -- including IT, transportation, banking, communications, energy and water -- as well as Canada, New Zealand and the UK. The enemy in Cyber Storm II will form coordinated cyber and physical attacks. The cyber attacks will likely involve a simulated massive Internet disruption, but will not impact any live networks. The exercise, coordinated from Washington, is based on the assumption that any cyber-asset can be compromised given sufficient funding.
