US National Intelligence Director James Clapper on Thursday warned that America must be ready for a “large, Armageddon-scale” cyber attack, in remarks made at an annual conference of members of the US intelligence community in Washington DC.
“Cyber threats to US national and economic security are increasing in frequency, scale, sophistication and the severity of impact,” Clapper warned. “Although we must be prepared for a large, Armageddon-scale strike that would debilitate the entire US infrastructure, it’s not our belief that that’s the most likely scenario.” […]

Someone please post a pic of Obama with his s**t-eating grin.
Which one?
Does anyone knowledgeable on the subject know if this would affect our nukes, air force, satellites, etc?
I am utterly lost when it comes to cyber warfare talk.
Dont we have counter measures in place?
I mean, if you're going to F*** America, F*** IT GOOD, right?
Not to worry ... John McAfee just got into the presidential race to deal with such issues (do I really need to add a sarc tag?).
Get a whole lot of candles.
LOL Thanks!! Now i feel better.
Speaking of douchcanoes.....
Yep, Clapper is a first class bastard.
I think most people that are high up like him think they’ll be immune to the disaster they’re bringing on.

He couldn’t be any worse than what we have now and better than most.
I’ve got plenty of matches but no candles. LOL
Plenty of the folks on this board are from the South or MidWest. I live in NYC. I’d be dead within a week!!
And after three days my cat might be in a lot of trouble!!!
jk. He’s my best buddy.
Not really. One human carcass will sustain a cat for quite a looooong time...............
I just gave him the dirtiest look.
found him this afternoon gnawing at a chicken bone he grabbed out of the trash.
He would do that to me in a NY minute.
Let’s see what happens next time he wants to knead on my stomach...
If you’ve survived all the crazy libs in NYC, you’re tougher than you realize. You have to be tough. I couldn’t deal with that.
Stay safe and pet your cat.
Nothing will happen everything is safe. I was assured by knowledgeable FReepers on a similar thread just last night and such an attack is impossible.
i was the one out of the closet conservative in a department of 40. Got the respect of quite a few for not bending.
In dark corners, people would whisper that they agreed with me lol.
I’ll pet the cat.
“Let’s see what happens next time he wants to knead on my stomach...”
I’ve read that the Japanese massage Kobe beef in a similar manner.
