MS who???

This is a form of warfare China has been practicing for a long time

Perhaps a way for China ( or another opportunistic hacker bent on mayhem) to respond to the coming great economic crash

One only hope they cannot assume control of inflight aircraft or our strategic space and weapons systems

Look at the top of the WSJ Web Page

United Airlines, NYSE, etc.
Could be coincidence, but I suspect a multi-pronged cyber attack by unknown parties. I would hope the US Cyber Command is responding.

Ours was down...but we got a message from bld. maintenance that they TOOK it down.

The message came AFTER the fact... NOT the usual way it’s done here.

[barmag25]

My internet and phone is down. Windstream can’t explain why.

[Enlightened1]

Let’s hope the power grid is not next.

Trading Halted on NYSE The New York Stock Exchange said it has temporarily suspended trading in all stocks, without providing further information. The update was issued at 11:32 a.m. New York time.

Chinese Government Struggles in Attempt to Stem Distress in Stock Market The Chinese government struggled in vain Wednesday to prevent the distress in the country’s stock markets from spreading as it openly fought market forces it has pledged to give a larger role.

this is not a mere coincidence is it

Probably just hacking by ISIS. Nothing to worry about. We just need to help them understand things better. I am sure 0bama is on this, trying to help them understand.

It was just ISIS scouring the Want Ads for jobs. You know, having a good government-run jobs program for ISIS will keep them from being terrorists.

There’s a newly discovered Flash exploit out. Probably script kiddies having fun, or emergency unplugs to prevent script kiddies.

Probably just hacking by ISIS. Nothing to worry about. We just need to help them understand things better. I am sure 0bama is on this, trying to help them understand.

Probably just trying out some new ideas on them while he continues plans to gut the military.

It struck me ‘odd’ that there was a ground stop on all UA planes due to computer systems being down and now the Stock Exchange. I think somebody is practicing mucking with computer systems with the ultimate goal to take down a lot of stuff all at once and watch the chaos. Just my ‘conspiracy theory’ imagination running wild. :-)

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

China is hammering us right now. Holy crap.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

China market no work, then U.S. market not gonna work eeder.

[21st Century Crusader]

If they shutdown power and my A/C won’t run, then it is WAR!

[trisham]

It’s on the news.

[RayChuang88]

That might be true, but I’ve updated Flash 18 to the current 18.0.0.203 version, which does patch the vulnerability.

I’ve noticed that every website/service that I use has been slow today. Lots of unexplained interruption in streaming media too. Whatever the issue, it isn’t on my end. Been going on all day.
