The odds of all of these attacks happening independently of one another are roughly 1 in 2 billion. The Chinese have started the war, it will be interesting to see how the US/NSA responds.
really? the chinese started the war? If so, that would make it the only war America has either not started or "encouraged" in all of history. lol, the chinese "started" the war.
Eh, not true. Many script kiddies run scripts that can ping every IP in the world. With a small sized botnet you can do this fairly quickly. This also means you can run little hack scripts that these honeypots pick up. We'll see though. I'm more afraid of what China could actually do to us if they decided to go full scale cyberwar.
Remember the Iran nuclear facility? A cyberattack destroyed it. Think about a targeted cyber attack at our nation's infrastructure. You'd have no power, no water, no anything. Worse than a few DDOS scripts and some shitty PHP vuln scanner
People like me would be fine without much infrastructure. But I'd weep for the cities if something like that happened. And people who needed medication every day to survive.

Please let it happen. The dependents will become responsible for themselves or will perish.
