Bloggers were one group of attackers:
Participants confirmed parts of the worldwide simulation challenged government officials and industry executives to respond to deliberate misinformation campaigns and activist calls by Internet bloggers, online diarists whose "Web logs" include political rantings and musings about current events.
Indeed. You know, I try very hard to give "ranting" a good name. And then I get slandered and put in the same category as anti-globalization activists and underground hackers. Thanks. I feel a really tough muse coming on over this. Well at least they didn't draw cartoons of us bloggers. That would really get the musing going.
And amazingly enough, nobody in this article mentioned the Chinese who are actually busy little beavers in the cyber warfare area as opposed to bloggers who rant and muse.
But it is bad form to mention actual potential enemies. It might be interesting to read their report using a universal word change of "Chinese" for "bloggers."
Is this fake but accurate, then?
UPDATE: Strategypage notes Chinese activity, including the 2003 Titan Rain incident:
There’s a Cyber War going on between China and the rest of the world. The problem is, there’s enough proof to know that China is behind an increasing number of Internet based attacks, but not enough to call China out on it. It began about five years ago, with an increasing number of very well executed Internet attacks that appeared to be coming from China.
I guess we didn't name China in the exercise because we still can't call them out on this.
