The Coming Crisis Welcome to Humanity's    ...Final Performance...

Successful hacker attack could cripple U.S. infrastructure, experts say Feb 20th 2013, 02:45 A report tying the Chinese military to computer attacks against American interests has sent a chill through cyber-security experts, who worry that the very lifelines of the United States — its energy pipelines, its water supply, its banks — are increasingly at risk. The experts say that a successful hacker attack taking out just a part of the nation's electrical grid, or crippling financial institutions for several days, could sow panic or even lead to loss of life. "I call it cyberterrorism that makes 9/11 pale in comparison," Rep. Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican and chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told NBC News on Tuesday. An American computer security company, Mandiant, reported with near certainty that members of a sophisticated Chinese hacking group work out of the headquarters of a unit of the Chinese army outside Shanghai. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/19/17019005-successful-hacker-attack-could-cripple-us-infrastructure-experts-say?lite
