UK Bankers Play At Being Hackers

A group of security professionals from the UK’s financial sector gathered to pretend they were being hacked, as if reality wasn't providing enough free practice daily. While they spent late April in this structured exercise, the rest of the world continued to fall apart in the usual, unscripted ways that actually matter. Staying safe involves hoping these sessions translate into better defenses before the next real-world catastrophe makes the pizza party look a bit silly. It’s a lovely day out for the team, provided the actual banks weren't smoldering while everyone was busy playing at digital warfare.
