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.

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.

The other unspoken issue, is the thousands of Chinese sent here, many of who, are spies. We have major problems.

Route all China traffic to the bottomless bit bucket.

I wonder if the unusual activity is related in some way to the massive financial meltdown in the Chinese stock market?

The company hosting this real time map is in St. Louis. I’m guessing most of their “sensors” are in the area. And of course they can’t show counterattacks.

It looks like the government is so inept that they did not know this was going on and gave away the records of over 100 Million employes.

Maybe they’re voting for the All-Star Game.

GREAT post & thread. Thank you.

I bet that if they track the traffic, it comes from Russia, through China, and on to the US.

It could be your browser. Try using Chrome or Firefox.

[Resolute Conservative]

It was Firefox I will try IE.

[Resolute Conservative]

IE worked.

[mojito]

I was having trouble with IE, but having much better success with Chrome.

The saying in Silicon Valley is "Half the Chinese here are spying on us. The other half are spying on them!"
