TALLINN: A fake news site attacking a NATO member recovering from the pandemic is part of the fictional scenario in an alliance cyber war game this week billed as the world's largest.

In the exercise, non-NATO member “Crimsonia” attacks vital infrastructure such as water supplies and mobile networks on the island state of “Berylia”, as well as the financial sector.
