Barry Shteiman, Senior Security Strategist at Imperva dissects the New York Times hack and says:

Based on available resources, The New York Times hack is in fact a DNS service breach. If you go directly to NYT via their IP Address, the site is up and running. This is unfortunately a validation to a prolonged security problem inherited in the way that companies rely on 3rd public services to conduct their business. While a company like NYT may be able to secure their own platforms, harden their systems and regularly check for vulnerable components on premise – it is a much harder practice when some of that infrastructure is provided by a third party like an ISP or a DNS Hoster.

Not surprisingly, the simulator is seen as a more effective training tool than conventional classroom training.
