INTERPOL participated in the Counter Cyber and Physical Terrorism Joint Exercise 2024 in collaboration with Hong Kong Police Force @HKPChannel and Macao Judiciary Police to enhance capabilities in responding to cyber-attacks and physical counterterrorism.
The exercise, which mobilized 230 officers, simulated a scenario in which terrorists launched cyber-attacks against Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and Companhia de Electricidade de Macau with the aim to paralyzing public services.
During the exercise, terrorists not only placed suspicious items and operated drones to create chaos but also attempted to carry out armed attacks on members of the public. Officers acted quickly to stop and apprehend the terrorists.
Regarding cyber security, officers conducted incident response and digital forensics works to address the hacking into the computer systems. They also shared intelligence with INTERPOL and other jurisdictions, which ultimately led to the successful arrest of other fleeing terrorists.
