At PHDays 5, the Capture the Flag (CTF) competition was held for the first time as a cyberbattle inside a virtual state

The forum gave much attention to communications security, including GSM signal interception, wiretapping, and mobile fraud. The cyberdefence of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi was a special highlight. In one of the contests, red teams tried to hack into a real electric power substation built according to IEC 61850.
