Sure. But that was two guys taking down one system.
What is being rumored now is multiple groups taking down multiple organizations in a manner that would be largely unrecoverable. There would be a communication trail that would be necessary to orchestrate something of that magnitude. And that communication trail would be a vulnerability.  Previous Message Colonial Pipeline and it took 5 days to get it restored even after they nearly immediately paid the ransom. That is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure in the United States because it runs from Houston across the major airport path of the Southeast and all the way up to the far northeast. Carries half the distilled petroleum for the entire eastern seaboard. They couldn't even manually operate it, once the computer was down it was bricked. The strings that hold up industrial society are very, very fragile. Previous Message And no, I'm not wearing my tin hat yet. But it does peak my interest a bit that I have heard rumblings from multiple sources, even if they are unverified. That said, a coordinated worldwide cyber attack would have to be enormously difficult to pull off and to have enough of an effect that it would disrupt anything for more than a day or two. It would have to exploit a vulnerability that no one is even aware exists. That seems highly unlikely. Previous Message
