FBI Constructs Mock Town to Test Cyberattack Responses

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has created a simulated town. The purpose is to replicate cyberattack scenarios. The facility allows agents to practice defensive tactics. It includes mock infrastructure such as utilities and networks. Researchers can model ransomware and data breach events. The project aims to improve national cyber resilience. Training exercises will involve multiple agencies. Officials say the town will help anticipate real‑world threats.
