Politico: NATO prepares for cyber war
More than 1,000 cyber professionals in NATO members and its allies across the globe participated in an exercise this week to test and strengthen cyber defenses.
TALLINN, Estonia — Some 150 NATO cybersecurity experts assembled in an unimposing beige building in the heart of Estonia’s snow-covered capital this week to prepare for a cyberwar. It’s a scenario that has become all too real for NATO member states and their allies since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The conflict has forced Ukraine to defend against both missile attacks and constant efforts by Russian hackers intent on turning off the lights and making life more difficult for their besieged neighbors.

Hate to say it
They may be there to hear an update to the war plan and there part in it.
Or
Like in 2002, before the Iraq invasion the exercise is based on the future war plan that may or may not be executed in the next 30 two 90 days.
Can be whatever reason, we don't even know who did that. Can be pissed off draft dodgers in Russia as well as some farm in Moldavia. Could be the "US". Could be the Ukies or even Santa Claus. Could be NATO or dungeon dweller anywhere in the world.
Wnu, you meant to say Nato is defending itself and retaliating against Russian cyber attacks.
