"...The hackers, who have not come forward to claim responsibility or otherwise been identified, likely made it a "worm", or self spreading malware, by exploiting a piece of NSA code known as "Eternal Blue" that was released last month by a group known as the Shadow Brokers (see "Hacker Group Releases Password To NSA's "Top Secret Arsenal" In Protest Of Trump Betrayal") , researchers with several private cyber security firms said.
"This is one of the largest global ransomware attacks the cyber community has ever seen," said Rich Barger, director of threat research with Splunk. The extremely well coordinated attack first emerged in the United Kingdom around noon on Friday and spread like wildefire around the globe. According to the Times "it has set off fears that the effects of the continuing threat will be felt for months, if not years" and raised questions about the intentions of the hackers: Did they carry out the attack for mere financial gain or for other unknown reasons?..."
Does anyone else find a massive world wide cyber attack suspicious, in light of the "deep state" losing Comey, and needing to vilify wikileaks? I wonder if this 'attack" is real or just more bullshit fake news. Has anyone here tried to check into a hospital and can't because their system was hacked?

"Does anyone else find a massive world wide cyber attack suspicious"
Maybe. You raise some great points. I'm still undecided though. I do find it funny that Alien Spaceship hoax bull shit died out. I was thinking that was how the Deep State would distract from all this sordid shit. But I think they quickly realized you can't forget this shit. It's life changing. None of us will ever be the same.
The reason I'm not totally convinced is there's plenty of evidence other than child porn and the like. And there will be mountains upon mountains of new evidence leaked everyday until this fucker comes down. And this fucker IS coming down. It's only quiet now because Deplorable Shit Lords like you and me have given Trump about 6 to 9 months to start the process of restoring our Democracy and our Constitution.
If Trump doesn't do it then the people will. They know this. Everyone knows this. It just takes a while to wake them up from a 50 year reign of depravity. And we'd all concede this past 8 years of consequence free decisions to sell the American Middle Class down the river went far beyond mere depravity. They had graduated to the cocaine, mescaline, medicinal ether, quaaludes, phenobarbital, oxycodone, and the last of Adolph Hitler's methamphetamine supply.
That's never a pretty wake-up.
The cocaine was talking before but now it's all gone. For all their bluster I'd bet the Deep State dies not with a bang but with a hangover to end all hangovers.........and then finally a whimper.
Best of luck with St. Peter you Satanic mother fuckers are gonna need it.

I just want to ask the questions, so that we don't underestimate them or their capabilites. I'm wondering if this cyber hack even happened. I know its not just child porn and manipulating the internet or claiming its vulnerabilities allows for evidence (CP or organ trafficking or Satanism, etc) to be discredited. Also, claiming that persons are harmed because of interference of hospital systems could provide justification for charging Wikileaks with criminal charges, either by US or England or whatever other of the 90 or so countries that have been cyber attacked. On the other hand, if these attacks are real, it is probably the CIA who are the most likely culprits with access, motivation, deprived morality, and an expectation of never being caught or charged.
I don't can't read/hear news anymore without second guessing accuracy or motive and I appreciate your opinion.

"could provide justification for charging Wikileaks with criminal charges"
Yes but that works both ways. If any evidence were to appear that they intentionally did it to frame Wikileaks then Wikileaks won't be the ones going to jail. They will. And they know other countries Intel Communities would be more than willing to provide that evidence.
