There are increasing threats for cyberspace. This paper tries to identify how extreme cybersecurity incidents occur based on the scenario of a targeted attack through emails. Knowledge on how extreme cybersecurity incidents occur helps in identifying the key points on how they can be prevented from occurring. The model based on system thinking approach to the understanding how communication influences entities and how tiny initiating events scale up into extreme events provides a condensed figure of the cyberspace and surrounding threats. By taking cyberspace layers and characteristics of cyberspace identified by this model into consideration, it predicts most suitable risk mitigations.
