CIA overseeing Internet war game

pr0digal jenius · May 27, 2005, 12:46 AM

The CIA is conducting a secretive war game, dubbed "Silent Horizon," this week to practice defending against an electronic assault on the same scale as the September 11 terrorism attacks.

The three-day exercise, ending Thursday, was meant to test the ability of government and industry to respond to escalating Internet disruptions over many months, according to participants. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the CIA asked them not to disclose details of the sensitive exercise taking place in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The simulated attacks were carried out five years in the future by a fictional alliance of anti-American organizations, including anti-globalization hackers. The most serious damage was expected to be inflicted in the war game's closing hours.

True, but you have to look forward and be postitive. Events like 9/11 have created such training exercises to be carried out today, before 9/11 there was no comprehension of such a disaster on the scale of the Twin Towers. I am glad they are acting on things like this now.

We only learn from mistakes and diasters.
