The National Terrorism Advisory System warned Sunday of a
range of Iranian threats to the U.S., including attacks
on “poorly secured U.S. networks and Internet-connected
devices.”

“Low-level cyber attacks against U.S. networks by pro-
Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated
with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against
U.S. networks.”

Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Dan Caine told reporters on Sunday
that U.S. Cyber Command was helping support the strikes,
although he did not elaborate on its involvement.

A spokesperson for U.S. Cyber Command did not respond to
a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency, the main U.S. cyber
defense agency, declined to comment.

Critical infrastructure groups last week called on U.S.
companies to proactively step up their defenses in
anticipation of an attack.

Iran reportedly has a lot of SHARP people ... and
it WILL leverage cyber-war now.

USA systems, esp 'infrastructure', are nefariously
open to attack. That's your lights, your water,
your nuke plants, even flushing your toilet. They
put all the 'devices' online - for convenience -
and now they're all OUT THERE, poorly protected.
Like maybe the cooling pumps on your friendly
neighborhood nuke plant .......

China recently got serious access to US phone
systems. Iran can at least crap up the traffic
lights and water plants and turn off the lights.
China may SHARE a few secrets too
Big Money stuff is generally better protected, but
it's all the SMALL stuff that isn't. That can make
life into HELL.

So, when a flood of nasty brown sewage starts
flowing down your street .........

De-Net Iran ? Difficult. Note it has proxies all
over the world too. Attacks don't have to come
FROM Iran proper. Maybe Paris, maybe Toronto,
maybe Wisconsin .........

Oh, Euros, YOU are targets too.

All Net all the Time ??? SEEMED like such a
great idea ..........

This IS WW-III ... not at all like the old
movies projected. The old view is faulty,
M.A.D., therefore really can't be used.
Instead it's gonna be a war of the SMALL
stuff, designed to sap opponents, break
down their systems and infrastructure and
confidence. Big systems, govts, CAN be
brought down that way all without vaporizing
any large cities.

First big cyber-attack and the lefties will
be SCREAMING to impeach Trump and friends -
replace with Russia/China/Ayatollah SUCK-UPS.
Kiss totalitarian ass - THAT will save us !!!
Just wait and see ............
