MACCDC 2018 Scenario Summary
Breaking News
A major online news service, the SWoRN Chronicle, has recently been the target of a group of Hackistanian hackers who appear to want to disrupt the reliable and credible reporting that sets the Chronicle apart from other news organizations. The ability of these insurgents to generate fake news in order to sway public opinion has been well documented. They use a variety of methods and are currently exploiting and infiltrating SWoRN Chronicle systems. Evidence has included the insertion of malware, bogus news stories, and complete hijacking of systems.
The SWoRN Chronicle executive team has enlisted the assistance of eight qualified teams to shut down the insurgents’ activities on the internal systems that are geographically distributed throughout the cybersphere. The teams will inherit the existing systems and be expected to defend them from further attack, detect and eliminate current exploits, and perform the day-to-day tasks necessary to maintain the systems.
The eight teams will be responsible for supporting field reporters as they deliver new content in the form of written articles and multimedia posts. They will also be responsible for guaranteeing the availability of factual news to end users around the world.
