THE WORM FROM 21 THOUSAND FATHOMS
“So sophisticated that many analysts believe it can only be part of a state-sponsored attack, the Stuxnet worm - or "malware" – is the first such programming creation designed with the specific intention of causing real world damage. And if the experts are right, it could herald a new chapter in the history of cyber warfare.”
It may “herald” it, but the guest came in through the back door sometime ago.
Thousands of cyber-security personnel from across the government and industry are to take part in the Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Storm III, a three- to four-day drill starting today,
9/28/10.

"At its core, the exercise is about resiliency - testing the nation's ability to cope with the loss or damage to basic aspects of modern life," said a release made available at DHS's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center in Arlington.
The simulation tests the newly developed National Cyber Incident Response Plan, a coordinated framework ordered by President Barack Obama. “
This is asinine, to think that all of this, combined with the resent emergence of the Stuxnet worm, is not a PR campaign. It comes together as such a script, perfectly timed and applied. Just as all the 'usual suspects' were available and coached for appearances on the media on 9/11. I say coached, as they all were speaking from the same talking points. This was obviously choreographed. So too is this Stuxnet event and continuing drama weaving in accordance. This is part of the ongoing low level psyop and low intensity warfare strategy being waged against the population.

The malware has infected as many as 45,000 computer systems around the world. Siemens AG, the company that designed the system targeted by the worm, said it has infected 15 of the industrial control plants it was apparently intended to infiltrate. It is not clear what sites were infected, but they could include water filtration, oil delivery, electrical and nuclear plants.
Symantec's analysis of the code shows that nearly 60% of the computers infected with Stuxnet are in Iran. An additional 18% are in Indonesia. Less than 2% are in the US."
It would be my contention that the most likely developer of Stuxnet is Symantec itself, as employed by western intel , or as in partnership in a long range plan now in fruition—like many of the current moves on the global chessboard. This fits into the overall now agenda so nicely, it can hardly be “just one of those things...” {grin}
"This would not be easy for a normal group to put together," said O Murchu. He said "it was either a well-funded private entity" or it "was a government agency or state-sponsored project" created by people familiar with industrial control systems.
A number of governments with sophisticated computer skills would have the ability to create such a code. They include China, Russia, Israel, Britain, Germany and the United States. But O Murchu said no clues have been found within the code to point to a country of origin.”
Perhaps “no clues” but a certain 'profile' and MO certainly sticks out like a sore thumb.

PSYCHOS WITH JINGLEBELLS GOING OFF IN THEIR HEADS
ReplyDeleteThe exercise in glottalization is the standard form of 21st century Newspeak, creaky voices for creepy agendas.
"The shows I worked on: Mary Tyler Moore Show, That Girl, & Love American Style, among others, were nothing more than Jewish tools (for the most part) to undermine the innocence of American WASP culture."
The rest of this comment has been edited by the author of the article, as this hybrid knows damned fine what is suggested, but cannot keep his silly mouth shut when – in his own words “I shall sit inside by candle light, a parrot on each shoulder, puffing the sacred herb and singing the ‘Immigrant Song’"

Flak, You might erase this from your thread, but you can't here, so I repost thus:
ReplyDeleteIn fact, what I had to say about your Jejune and mediocre vagueness as per 'what to do about' It was true.
What all of us already grasp as the problem, is the only meat in what you have to say.
The part of what to DO about it is again, nothing but generalization based on grandiose delusions that there is some adequate force of animation from these pages.
That my saying this, brings out your Stalinist urges to silence any question or opposition is most telling.
You have shown your hand.
Yours is a minor case of megalomania. It is fortunate for the world that you don't have a position of real power.

You poor sick devil.
ReplyDeleteBut I will mention that if you were within hand's reach, you would be much sicker.
I will also mention that I will not lift a finger against you, but you will be the poorer. Watch.
I thought you might get a kick out of that Flakluster.
ReplyDeleteI told you that EDIT button was a double edged sword.
Your mouth wrote a check your ass can't cash.
It was for your benefit...I'll remove it now.{grin}
