WTF happened to Hansen.

He held the puck, out-waited the goalie, & fired the puck up where momma keeps the cookies.

Reality isn't.

The paradym has shifted.

We have pills for the cognitive dissonance you are presently experiencing.

Or, if you prefer, we can have 90% of the scientific community convince you that goal never happened.

Yeahno, the paradigm doesn't shift until the Illuminati decides to make it so bro.

Now fall in with the rest of the sheeple before we send black ops ALL the way up yo ass muthuhfuckuh!

I WASN’T KIDDING ABOUT THIS ESCALATING!!!

Ummm.. err… I mean…

I WASN’T KIDDING ABOUT THIS ESCALATING!!!

I'm hearing they're now going after thousands of sites.



Some experts in the field are saying they're trying to take down the internet and the power grids.

Ask Corny and Ratatat about all the troubles we have had today RIGHT HERE AT THE CORNER!!

Yeah, we're at war folks.

DON'T JUST SIT THERE, DO SOMETHING!!!

Fucking slackers.

Not trying to overly upset anyone...

Make no mistake, DDoS attacks have been off the charts for the last few days!

Here's one of the latest...

(North Korea's LizardSquad again)

Yeah I know what you're thinking, who cares about Sweden's internet getting knocked out.

And okay you have a point but still

... never in the history of the internet have DDoS attacks reached anything near this level!

And the scary part is the sky is the limit, there is virtually no defense against these attacks.

Internets can be destroyed, power grids could be taken down, the end is near...

WASHINGTON — American officials have concluded that North Korea was “centrally involved” in the hacking of Sony Pictures computers, even as the studio canceled the release of a far-fetched comedy about the assassination of the North’s leader that is believed to have led to the cyberattack.

Sony capitulated after the hackers threatened additional attacks, perhaps on theaters themselves, if the movie, “The Interview,” was released.

The government is “considering a range of options in weighing a potential response,” said Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council.

The administration’s sudden urgency came after a new threat was delivered this week to desktop computers at Sony’s offices, warning that if “The Interview” was released on Dec. 25, “the world will be full of fear.”

“Remember the 11th of September 2001,” it said. “We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.”

The cancellations virtually killed the movie as a theatrical enterprise, at least in the near term, one of the first known instances of a threat from another nation pre-empting the release of a movie.

It is rare for the United States to publicly accuse countries suspected of involvement in cyberintrusions. The administration never publicly said who attacked White House and State Department computers over the past two months, or JPMorgan Chase’s systems last summer. Russia is suspected in the first two cases, but there is conflicting evidence in the JPMorgan case.

But there is a long forensic trail involving the Sony hacking, several security researchers said. The attackers used readily available commercial tools to wipe data off Sony’s machines. They also borrowed tools and techniques that had been used in at least two previous attacks, one in Saudi Arabia two years ago — widely attributed to Iran — and another last year in South Korea aimed at banks and media companies.

What is remarkable in this case is that after three weeks of pressure, the attack forced one of Hollywood’s largest studios and Japan’s most famous companies to surrender.

Sony has tried to put the best face on the situation, saying it understood that movie theaters had to be worried about the safety of their customers.

But the precedent set Wednesday could be damaging. Other countries or hacking groups could try similar tactics over movies, books or television broadcasts that they find offensive.

A large-scale American cyberattack would require a presidential order, and Mr. Obama has been hesitant to use the country’s cyberarsenal for fear of retaliation.

So yeah, Sony surrenders to North Korea, canceling the movie's release, giving up a minimum $50M in revenue.

And the Free World takes a huge hit as far as free speech + free expression.

All this because some minor shrub on the world stage refuses to be mocked.

As I've been saying, this is war.

That attack on Sweden's internet by NK yesterday was likely a message sent to USA

.... "Here's a smarr taste of what we're capabre of asshores".

I'm telling you, a lot of nations are capable of shutting down the western internet and power grids.

Most of those nations are not crazy enough to actually do it though.

Then there's folk like North Korea.

Read that last sentence quoted above.

What kind of "retaliation" do you think Obama is so afraid of from North Korea?

And... how many Americans would die if the power grids were shut down?

These all-too-real infrastructure attacks + threatened (and believed) terrorist attacks on movie-goers

.... result in missiles being launched at some point amirite?

Just saying.

The American's fired the first shot, using Stuxnet and later Flame. Additionally, they attacked Siemens controllers running in Iranian nuclear facilities, which is many steps above attacking a brain dead movie studio whose IT director was probably a marketing intern.

Bad move on Sony's part.

The Koreans basically took down the internet in Sweden yesterday

(and then stopped, allowing them to get it up and running again).

A lot of people are saying China has helped Korea to vastly improve their capabilities over the past year.

There are more than a few nations (including Korea) who could take down American power grids.

It's just that most nations aren't crazy enough to start WWIII.

Enter North Korea.

Meh...

Okay Beard, you tell me.

What is this "Obama fear of retaliation from North Korea" of which the Times article speaks.
