This past weekend, both NATO and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) were the targets of cyber attacks. The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) allegedly breached CENTCOMs systems following the publication of an article in the New York Times. Cyber Berkut, a group of hackers loyal to former Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych, purportedly conducted distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against NATO. Even if NATO and CENTCOM were successfully hacked, it can be argued that it is in their interest to deny it.”]
