If anything seems a little off on Wall Street later this month, you can

Or rather the simulated cyber attack exercise dubbed Quantum Dawn 2. As 
reported by Lauren Tara LaCapra at Reuters, it’s an exercise that will run 
through most of the business day on June 28, simulating a significant

Organized by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, it 
will involve numerous banks, including Citigroup and Bank of America, the 
U.S. departments of Treasury and Homeland Security, the Federal Reserve 
and the Securities and Exchange Commission. At least three executives from 
each participating organization will take part.
