The US Department of Defense is concerned that hackers could
take down the US financial system and is working with Wall Street
traders to figure out a way to protect against the threat.
The
Pentagon’s research arm, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA), is consulting with dozens of traders and quantitative hedge
fund managers to understand the extent of the damage hackers could cause
to the US financial system, the Wall Street Journal reports.DARPA has spent the last year and a half consulting with executives from a range of financial companies in what has been described as an early-stage pilot project to identity market vulnerabilities.
The project is unclassified and DARPA confirmed its details to the WSJ. It’s called the Financial Markets Vulnerabilities Project.
