Heads up! Let's hope the dirt-bags don't 'go live,' as they did on 9/11: UK and US to simulate cyber-attack on nuclear plants to test resilience | 30 March 2016 | Britain and the US will stage a war-game later this year, simulating a cyber attack on a nuclear power plant, to test the readiness of the government and utility firms. As David Cameron prepares to fly to Washington to attend a nuclear security summit, convened by Barack Obama, government sources said the two countries plan to cooperate on exploring the resilience of nuclear infrastructure to a terrorist attack. Government sources said the exercise was not triggered by any credible intelligence about the threat of such an attack, but that it was" prudent planning," adding: "It gives us the ability to test these systems, and make sure that we learn any lessons."
