Cyberattacks on the Rise: NATO Nations Prepare for Offense
A recent cyberattack shut down major European airports, including London Heathrow, Berlin Brandenburg, and Brussels, stranding thousands of passengers. The target, Collins Aerospace, builds check-in systems for airlines and had a contract to help NATO with electronic warfare.
The attack is part of a series of high-profile cyber incursions in Europe, including an incident where hackers opened a Norwegian dam's floodgates by exploiting a weak password, attributed to Russia.
Such cyberstrikes are on the rise, warns a report by the European Union's Agency for Cybersecurity, and they are often carried out by China and Russia to "erode the resiliency" of Western nations.
NATO nations are ready to play offense against these rising cyberattacks.
