The FBI built a small town to simulate cyberattacks

The FBI has established a Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, a 22,000 square-foot replica of a town used for simulating cyberattacks. This facility includes various buildings such as a convenience store, gas station, hospital, and houses, all connected to mimic real-world scenarios. A small data center with over 200 servers is also part of the setup, allowing the FBI to practice responding to hacking and malware attacks. The Cyber Range serves as a training facility for the bureau to prepare for and research modern digital crimes.
