EU and US cybersecurity officials have tested how they would co-ordinate their response to a hacking attack. The exercise in Brussels marked the first time the two bodies have role-played the scenario together. The stress tests follow a similar event involving the European nations last year. Organisers said afterwards that states “must increase their efforts”. UK intelligence agency, GCHQ, recently warned of a “disturbing” number of cyber attacks against Britain. Other countries have also seen a rise in the number of targeted strikes. “Recent high profile cyber attacks show that global threats need global action,” said EU Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes.
