Large-scale exercise prepares EU for cyber attacks

http://www.euronews.com/ For the first time, banks and internet companies were part of an exercise preparing EU institutions in case of a cyber attack.

Four hundred experts from across Europe faced more than 1,200 separate cyber attacks on Thursday.
