Quoted: So whats the end game, because how does China crippling our entire cyber infrastruture achieve any strategic goal for them, it would be temporary and its not going to impact our ability to launch nukes. Are they just going to ask for Bitcoin or Gold? You know who would really benefit from a mass cyberattack, people who want more power, more unilateral abilities to subvert the constitution, people who really believe that Trump is the next Hitler, and would do anything to stop him, because he's Hitler 2.0. Maybe China and those people are on the same team. I can see that. Funny how the FBI isn't looking into the fact that lots of people at 1600 Pennsylvania had financial interests from the Chinese Government. https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/joe-hunter-biden-109.jpg?quality=75&strip=all I just pray if the grid does go down, Americans hold accountable the right commies. View Quote Grid down right before they invade Taiwan. Require a public commitment to not hinder the invasion from the US Gov. What would you do? |

Even with arfcom GD being a very bias sample, I find the poll results surprising. 60% have 30+ days of water, food, fuel, meds?
My guess at the actual would be under 10% |

I thought white nationalists were the threat. China needs to file an EEO.

The US government and cronies have been giving the Chicoms every opportunity they can to get into and ahead of the USA.
Inviting them to higher education Inviting them into investment Inviting them into corporations Inviting them to own real property Inviting them to have birthing centers for birthright citizenship which is also a corruption and false practice. Everything on insecure electronics connected to inherently insecure WWW.. So it can be hacked. Nobody is this stupid but many are this corrupt and greedy. |

If you are critical infrastructure and have been targeted or breached you've already been contacted by the CISA. In person.

Quoted: Four states 911 where hacked yesterday. Many of the outages — reported in Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and Texas — were restored by the late evening, but the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday said its investigation is just getting started. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/major-911-outages-4-states-leave-millions-way-contact-local-authoritie-rcna148345 View Quote Was going to ask if this might have been a test run after seeing the story on the news tonight. They tried to blame 3 states losing their 911 system on a construction crew cutting 1 fiber line while installing a traffic light. How does 1 fiber run near a street light shut down 911 operations in 3 states? |

Quoted: Just in time for the election —who would have guessed View Quote Yep, systems will go down on election night and days later we'll be told Biden won again with more votes than ever. It will give them plenty of time to double check that they didn't cheat too much as well as time to destroy any evidence. |

The FBI told me that white christian men are the biggest threat to the country.

Maybe if FJB didnt let everyone and their goat in we would not have this problem.
They gov caused it and they can fuck off if they wanna take anymore of my rights away. |

The threat is very real. Two years ago I would see about 60 million security log entries a month on the systems I'm currently managing. Last month we saw 300 million security logs. They are the same systems. In the last 48 hours I've seen over 10 million attempts to break into my network via a recently announced vulnerability. The attempts to brute force into our VPN. Have gone from several dozen a day to about 30,000 a day.
there is a very real possibility for the month of April. I will see 1 billion security entries into our logging systems. |

FBI is a lying sack of shit criminal organization, it's absolutely just as likely that they are in fact going to do the cyber-attack themselves to pursue whatever fucked-up agenda they have themselves. Possibly to wreck the elections with some false-flag shit.

We ‘re so lucky to have Chris Wray’s brave, dedicated hair-do looking out for us.
Because none of us saw any of this coming. |

It’s a legit threat, but these companies also are causing a fuck ton of exposure with their nonsense. Ran into a guy that works at a prominent aerospace contractor not long ago that spoke basic English and his name was full of Z’s and X’s. Geeee wonder how this stuff is happening.

Stories like this are predicated on a hidden assumption: that All, emphasis All, American utilities and other backbone industries are sitting around with their thumb up their ass waiting for a bell to go off so they can switch thumbs.
My experience is somewhat to the contrary, we are not at the mercy of clueless feckless critical providers ripe for the picking. I'm sure the chinese can kick us in the shins, probably not the balls, and I'm very skeptical that they're going to pwn us to any significant degree. |
