CIA Claims Cyber Attackers Blacked Out Cities
Dotnaught writes to tell us InformationWeek is reporting that the CIA admitted today that recent power outages in multiple cities outside the United States are the result of cyberattacks. "We have information, from multiple regions outside the United States, of cyber intrusions into utilities, followed by extortion demands. We suspect, but cannot confirm, that some of these attackers had the benefit of inside knowledge. We have information that cyberattacks have been used to disrupt power equipment in several regions outside the United States. In at least one case, the disruption caused a power outage affecting multiple cities. We do not know who executed these attacks or why, but all involved intrusions through the Internet."
I have read shit on the internet and I think the CIA themselfs are responsible. Its a good job the UK government don't do such things.
;)
Im a little paranoid bear with me
I know the rule, don't feed the trolls, but I had to reply to this one.
There is nothing, I repeat, nothing natural about smoking anything. Thats pretty much the opposite of nature.
Gone!
Iraq is dying down now. We're NEVER going to find Osama. People have grown used to the middle east kicking the shit out of each other, we're not exactly frightened or interested anymore.
Of COURSE there's a new Ultimate evil in the World, how else is the US government going to control you?
One more thing.
You Americans spend your entire time bitching and moaning about abuses of power, yet how could you fail to see it coming? The new laws were well documented.
You complain non stop about the president, he's a joke worldwide, yet you gave him a second term.
You claim to hate big oil, yet you buy more and more SUVs.
Almost every negative American stereotype that you deny, you perpetuate.
Then you wonder why they talk about Western Hypocrisy.
You feel sleepy. Close your eyes. The opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
