Coordination of a global response to a massive cyber attack on critical infrastructures
   
Bila je tiha i zvjezdana noć kada su na monitorima sigurnosnih centara diljem svijeta počele pojavljivati zlokobne poruke upozorenja.
   
It was a quiet and starlit night when ominous warning messages began to appear on the screens of security centers around the world.
   
Ja sam Jin-ho, visoko rangirani analitičar mrežne sigurnosti sa sjedištem u Seoulu, i upravo sam spustio svoju šalicu kave kad se prvi alarm počeo treptati na mom monitoru.
   
I am Jin-ho, a high-ranking network security analyst based in Seoul, and I had just set down my coffee cup when the first warning signal started flashing on my monitor.
   
U roku nekoliko sekundi postalo mi je jasno da ovdje ne govorimo o uobičajenom sigurnosnom incidentu.
   
Within a few seconds, it became clear to me that we were not dealing with an everyday security incident here.

As the scope of the attack became more and more clear, I called my colleagues in Tokyo, Washington, and London to coordinate a global response plan.

The challenge was unprecedented, but we had to focus on taking the helm in this global crisis.
   
U sredini kaosa povezali smo se s ekspertima i vladama širom svijeta kako bismo raspravili o sljedećim koracima i koordinirali učinkovite protumjere.
