Mathematical Model Helps Estimate Optimal Timing of Cyber Attack

sciencehabit writes "Have you been missing the grim mathematical war games that strategists once used to map out possible nuclear confrontations? Don't worry, the games are back — this time applied to computer security. Researchers have now mathematically formalized the strategy of computer hacking, potentially enabling anyone — governments, activist hackers, cybermafia — to determine the optimal timing of attacks."

Obligatory

What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

What about a nice game of chess?
