What ever did they do before computers were around?

Maybe they need to go back to that.

Monsanto??

Maybe Enterprise Rent-A-Car. "We'll stop all those grounded air passengers from renting cars, too! Mwah hahaha!"

In case you did not notice this a one way street.

Well, in the event of an EMP attack, they best figure out how to work without the computers.

The thing is with today's cloud computing, physical location does not mean anything. If that map of cyber attacks is accurate, Germany just took over the lead from China in the attacks a few minutes ago. For all we know, they could be targeting the NSA computers.

Yesterday's close was 17776.91. "777" is a trigger code for "look out! it begins!"

eta: same as the -777 day in 2008 that started the crash. Also, a very similar occurrence as today's halt happened in July 2001. History is repeating.....

So why St. Louis?

Could have to do with trading. Scottrade, Wells Fargo Investments and Edwards Jones are headquartered there. Maybe the NYSE closed to keep China from trying to manipulate the markets by cyberattack?

 

[FunkBuddha]

So why St. Louis?

Perhaps because NorseCorp's largest customer is in St. Louis? NorseCorp is a small time player in Intrusion Prevention Systems. What you're looking at is basically eye-candy and isn't really meaningful. They get the data from their customers and then render the pretty map.

What you're seeing are attacks that match known signatures. Nation states have big budgets and pay top dollar for 0-day vulnerabilities that don't get typically get picked up and blocked by IPS appliances.

Most of the traffic you see is likely coming from already infected hosts trying to infect other hosts by brute-force password attacks. Hence the large number of attacks directed at Telnet and SQL.

You can't think of cyber-warfare as tanks lining up on a battle-field firing artillery at one-another. If I'm going to attack someone, you won't be able to tell where I'm coming from by looking at my source IP address. Depending on how big my network of infected hosts is, I can come at you from nearly any country on the planet.

Is St. Louis under cyber attack? Probably not

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – Is St. Louis at the center of a cyber attack from China? A company that monitors threats on the internet shows a large amount of traffic headed into the area from China. They say this map posted online may be misleading. There are a lot of traps at their administrative headquarters based in St. Louis that make it look like the area is under attack.

According to Norsecorp’s Twitter profile they offer, “Live threat intelligence & unmatched visibility into the darkest corners of the Internet.” A map on the company’s website shows a lot of activity coming from locations in china to IP addresses located mostly in St. Louis, Kirksville and Seattle. The majority of targets listed in the map are located in the US with origins in China.

For those following the rumors of a concentrated cyber attack on St. Louis via China, reporter Paul Schankman has information from the company causing the stir. The company’s administrative headquarters is based St. Louis. Because of that, a disproportionately high number of the electronic “honeypots” they use to find suspicious activity are in the area. The map being circulated showing the activity is a public page for demo purposes only and shows only 1 in 100 signals being tracked.

Bottom line, we are not under attack. We are not going to die. You have to come to work tomorrow.

An expert says a failed systems upgrade forced the New York Stock Exchange to halt trading on Wednesday

Two weeks ago, the New York Stock Exchange told trading firms and other subscribers that it would be discontinuing some of its legacy systems. Apparently, the fix disconnected the entire NYSE.

The NYSE has not yet confirmed why trading on the exchange was halted at 11:32 on Wednesday morning. It has said that it was the result of technical issues and did not offer any further elaboration.

But Eric Scott Hunsader, an expert in Wall Street trading systems who heads market data firm Nanex, said that it appears that a faulty system upgrade brought trading on the exchange to a halt. The NYSE has reportedly also told floor traders the exchange had to suspend trading due to an error with a systems upgrade that was rolled out before the market opened on Wednesday.

Market was closed for four hours.
