Don’t forget the successful attack against the Metcalf Substation in San Jose back on 16 April 2013. A team of snipers did $15 mil worth of damage and got away clean, despite the offer of a substantial reward for information.
In addition to taking out a major electrical substation, they also cut three fiber optic data cables.

It's tough to really do anything about this now while the US controls the Internet.
It will be impossible to do anything at all once Obama transfers the Internet to foreign powers.
These probing cyber warfare attacks seem to coincide with our current Obama Administration plan and time line to give away of the Internet
Coincidence?
Be serious.

Verisign is the registrar for many popular top-level Internet domains, like .com and .net. If it goes down, there's a global blackout of all websites and e-mail addresses in the most common top-level domains. It's not that they are a domain registrar, as domain lookups are cached all over the internet. The critical issue is the soon to be "forced" move from http to https by browsers. If you can't obtain a certificate, you can't view the website.

IBM gave away PC business to Chinese Lenovo. Now they can produce and sell us computers with built in back door for remote control of US. Brilliant!

If true, we at Freerepublic need to develop an alternative communication plan. I will go crazy without Freerepublic.

On their secret island base in the Pacific, all the losers of the 90s Internet boom — Netscape, MySpace, Napster, Pets.com, Lycos, AltaVista, Kozmo, Flooz, GeoCities, EToys, Beenz, WebVan, Go.com — are planning their revenge.

On the contrary - move all websites off ipv4 and on to ipv6...there are literally a quadrillion addresses...simply buy a range of a few million, and when an attack happens, dynamically move it to another.

An unknown government is testing the defenses of Verisign et. al. in order to find a way to take down the internet altogether. All our internet belongs to us?
