The Ultimate Cyber Attack?
According to Techopedia [1], a the phrase “Cyber Attack” means:
A cyberattack is deliberate exploitation of computer systems, technology-dependent enterprises and networks. Cyberattacks use malicious code to alter computer code, logic or data, resulting in disruptive consequences that can compromise data and lead to cybercrimes, such as information and identity theft.
Cyberattack is also known as a computer network attack (CNA). – Techopedia
Techopedia goes on to say that “Cyberattacks may include the following consequences:
- Identity theft, fraud, extortion
- Malware, pharming, phishing, spamming, spoofing, spyware, Trojans and viruses
- Stolen hardware, such as laptops or mobile devices
- Denial-of-service and distributed denial-of-service attacks
- Breach of access
- Password sniffing
- System infiltration
- Website defacement
- Private and public Web browser exploits
- Instant messaging abuse
- Intellectual property (IP) theft or unauthorized access
The Institute for Security Technology Studies at Dartmouth University researches and investigates cyberattack issues facing law enforcement investigations and focuses on the continuous development of IP tracing, data analysis, real-time interception and national data sharing.

NBC News on November 13th, 2014 confirmed in an article entitled “NOAA Confirms Cyberattack ‘in Recent Weeks'” [2] that China had recently conducted a massive cyber attack on the United States.
Just a few months after a blistering internal report warned of serious technology security problems in the agency that oversees the National Weather Service, the agency confirmed Wednesday that it was recently the victim of a cyberattack on four of its websites — an attack that one of the agency’s congressional overseers said was orchestrated by China.
‘NOAA told me it was a hack and it was China,’ Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Virginia, chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees NOAA, told The Washington Post. Wolf accused NOAA of ‘deliberately misleading the American public in its replies.’
‘They had an obligation to tell the truth,’ Wolf told the newspaper. “They covered it up.’
Exactly one week later, The New York Daily news and many other outlets reported that Adm. Michael Rogers, director of the National Security Agency and head of U.S. Cyber Command was quoted saying [3]:
China and “one or two” other countries are capable of mounting cyberattacks that would shut down the electric grid and other critical systems in parts of the United States – Adm. Michael Rogers, NSA Director
An independent journalist who goes by the monicker “Live Free or Die” today published an article called “Proof US Being Bombarded Now! China’s On A Rampage! China Behind Worse Cyber Attack In History Against The US!” [4] and it discusses another side of the potential for a Chinese Cyber War – according to their research – the attack has already begun. They write:
In a follow-up to a viral story yesterday from Susan Duclos [5], we took a look at a website you can check out now yourselves [6] that shows current, up to the moment attacks upon the US happening by the second from across the world, with both attack locations and attack originations clearly detailed for all to see and what we’ve found is bombshell info as shared by Susan in the 1st video below.
With the US govt now preparing for WW3 against Russia [7], what we’ve found are massive attacks against the US by CHINA, rarely Russia, and attacks against the US from within the US, with countless attacks upon St. Louis, Missouri, many originating from the Washington DC/Northern Virginia areas (Pentagon?).
With World War III and potential nuclear annihilation for MILLIONS OF AMERICANS if our govt continues upon this warmongering path a clear possibility, you can contact your Congress members here [8] and the White House at (202) 456-1111 to voice your outrage they’re willing to sacrifice our childrens lives.

So, what do you think? Is China preparing us for a war – are they spying on us so they can incite one, or is it nothing but a show of ego and strength? Let us know what you think in the comments.
