So who all thinks the cyber attacks today were just a trial run for something much larger in the near future???

Yep... me too.



From what I've read, it was pretty damned effective... If something like this was fired off against multiple DNS providers at the same time ( and they could sustain it ), it would pretty much shut down the internet across the US... Would be pretty effective to disrupt our elections here in a few weeks...

You know ... never thought about that... Maybe something like that wouldn't be so bad.

Just think if they can somehow take over our satellites, that would really put us on the ropes.

Most of our sites that are re-directed to vendor's offsite were down.

HR
Jobs Search
Ordering catalog
Punch Out Catalog
Recruiting

Our tech lines were rocking today.

We should get use to it over the next couple of months.

Recap? Traveled all day yesterday, worked all night and into this morning. Just woke up. What happened today?

Our servers for work were disrupted today as well.



       If the intent is to disrupt the election…who benefits from it?





Is this a ploy by our own government to stop Trump?  







Is this a ploy by foreign nationals to just fuck with us?







Tinfoily in here…but hey…this election has been nuts from the beginning.

When you shut down a platform like Paypal and other shopping type sites with Christmas coming up you could seriously cost millions of dollars of damage in a few days.

BF1?

That's how I learned of it. I was roofing my lil' brothers house all day.

When he got home from work....I asked when BF1 would be available on PC?

My first instinct is/was THE SIGNAL had to be stopped.

TPTB have gone ALL IN.

PayPal did over $80B in transactions in each of the first 2 quarters of 2016. As far back as 2011, they were over $300M/day. Delaying stuff for several days would be quite disruptive.
