Background: “AFCEA [Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International] Atlanta [Chapter] Homeland Security Conference on Critical Infrastructure, November 6-7, 2024, with a large scale cybersecurity exercise on November 5, 2024” (link in footnote)
—On Nov. 5, ELECTION DAY, there will be a special cybersecurity exercise at the Conference.
Get this. The exercise is described as a large-scale interactive event, with participants from federal, state, county, city government agencies, academia, and industry.
The exercise will simulate a cyber-attack on “critical infrastructure.”
That’s right. It’s a so-called “Jack Voltaic”-type exercise, which was developed to test responses to attacks on large infrastructures.
QUITE odd to schedule the exercise on Election Day.
