June 28, 2013 Wall Street is waiting for "Quantum Dawn"
On Friday, June 28, 2013, at 9 am, a number of commercial and government organizations in New York, such as Citygroup, Bank of America, the Department of National Security, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Reserve System - more than 40 different institutions and companies - through normal channels Communications will begin to receive unusual or non-standard data packets that can be interpreted as a hacker attack on the Wall Street financial infrastructure. So begin the large-scale exercises of Quantum Dawn 2, the purpose of which is to develop a system of complex actions and measures in the event of a real threat from computer intruders. Coordination of the "attack" will deal with the trading organization SIFMA .
Judging that something strange is happening, it will be possible to judge the unconditional slowdown in trading operations or their failures; likely to be involved software that mimics the penetration of viruses into computer systems. After some time, the attack will be suspended, allowing the departments responsible for IT security to make a number of decisions to counter or cancel the auction. Further, after an indefinite period of time, the attack will be restored, only at a more aggressive pace and with altered conditions. All this horror will last until 14:30.
Participation in the experiment is not free - companies must pay a fee of $ 1,000 to $ 10,000. In fact, the opposition will deal with three people from each company responsible for a particular security sector. The first will be responsible for the overall uninterrupted operation of the organization (one from the business continuity), the second - directly for information security, the third will be engaged in the trading process itself during the attack.

It is difficult to say whether the second Quantum Dawn is associated with the spy scandal around the notorious PRISM project, but nevertheless the level of organizations participating in the simulation suggests an exceptional seriousness of the planned event. It is likely that the “Die Hard 4” scenario is not seen by the US authorities as fantastic.
