Ransomware - Summer Storm - Vermont Twister - Russians & AsianssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #news7 years ago (edited)

As usual we get a good summer storm. Again this one came out of nowhere. Good luck out there hopefully it passes quick.

Here are some shots of the storm passing over the mountain in front of where we live:

I probably should have stopped filming instead of telling my girls to do the chores ;)

I was going to post about the new ransomware after "Wanna Cry" but I suppose that will have to wait until a bit later.

NPR had some reporting on it so far.

Who?

I am curious why now for a second time popular media networks are reporting these to be cyber-attacks by "other nations".

The recent ransomware attacks seem to have been fairly unsuccessful considering they were allegedly created by nation/state type organizations but failed so simply.

Are some people trying to blame script kiddies foolishness on other nations for personal gain? (what's the agenda?)

Are some nations completely incompetent when it comes to spreading a virus anyone can buy on the dark-net for a bit of coin?

What do you think?

Good luck out there friends! @camb

Sort:  

This is part of " this is the Russians" fault. They even set this up by having multiple mainstream stories a few weeks back about how they planned to attack infrastructure.

I thought the cold war was over. :)
