Cyber War Game Tests Future Troops

By Brian Krebs
In a basement lab littered with computers, monitors and chalkboard
diagrams, 14 Naval Academy midshipmen are buzzing about the latest
hacker assault on the computer network they created.
Hackers have penetrated their network and erased a database. But lead
technician James Shey, stifling a yawn, says this attack is no big
deal -- his team saved a backup copy.
Shey has slept a total of five hours out of the last 36. He and the
other future Navy officers have been standing cybersecurity watch as
part of the third annual Cyber Defense Exercise. The midshipmen, along
with teams from the nation's four other service academies, are
defending home-grown computer networks from attack by specialists from
the National Security Agency, the United States's ultra-secretive
surveillance and spy agency.
