http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/04/europe_cyber_test_lives/ By John Oates The Register 4th November 2010 Security experts are launching fake cyber-attacks against various European institutions today to check the response of European cyber defence. The simulated attack aims to cut or interfere with internet connections between European countries, forcing member states to cooperate in order to stop a complete network collapse. The test is being run by the European Network Security Agency (ENISA) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC). "Steelie" Neelie Kroes, vice president of the European Commission for the Digital Agenda, said: "This exercise to test Europe's preparedness against cyber threats is an important first step towards working together to combat potential online threats to essential infrastructure and ensuring citizens and businesses feel safe and secure online."
