...I predict that Russia's Cyber Attack will be as effective as their three day excursion into the Ukraine.

Warning: Russia Appears to Be Preparing for a Massive Cyberattack That Will Cripple the Internet

For years, I lambasted Chicken Littles for claiming the sky was falling. But things are different today. Now I'm Chicken Little, and I pray that what we're seeing does not portend what is coming.

While most of the corporate media world puts tons of attention on the possibility of Russia starting a nuclear war against NATO and the United States, some in alternative media have rightly predicted their most likely “nuclear” attack will not be with weapons of mass destruction. It seems much more likely and practical for them to launch a massive cyberattack that would cripple the world’s internet for days, weeks, or longer, bringing chaos to a western world that has grown completely dependent on digital infrastructure.

As Brandon Smith noted last week, a cyberattack seems imminent. JD Heyes said a few days before that the Russian invasion was a perfect opportunity for the so-called “Cyber Pandemic.” Now, we’re receiving news that Russia has invoked a conveniently timed 2019 law allowing them to “quarantine” their internet. IF they were planning on launching a massive cyberattack, this would be the first step they would take.

According to The Independent:

Russia is reportedly planning to disconnect itself from Western internet services as technology companies block off the country during the invasion of Ukraine. The move could isolate Russia further as firms including Netflix, Adobe, PayPal, and others have all suspended services.

Now, two documents published by the Ministry of Digital Development outline measures the Russian government wants state-owned websites to take to “coordinate actions to defend telecommunication services on the internet.”

This includes switching from foreign hosting services to those based in Russia, and removing code that did not originate in the country. However, rather than an internal action, the Russian state has suggested that this is a measure to be taken in the wake of cyberattacks that could harm government websites.

Such attacks have already been made on Kremlin websites, which were taken down by the hacking group Anonymous. Russian TV channels were also “hacked to play Ukrainian songs”, with the group declaring that it was “at war” with Russia.
It is long-past time for everyone to backup their most important digital files to localized hard drives. (And Zimbler0 just told us how... - De) But that’s the least of our concerns because so much of our day-to-day lives are attached to digital infrastructure. Bills are often paid and collected digitally. Banking is very digital with hand-written checks pretty much a thing of the past. Credit- and bank-card payment processing is almost entirely dependent on the internet today. I could list a hundred different ways a temporarily or even permanently broken internet would cause instant financial apocalypse.

Utilities, healthcare, emergency dispatches — all dependent on the internet. Communication and travel — partially dependent on the internet. A massive cyberattack could turn the United States into a third-world country very quickly.

Yes, it’s time to be prepared. Water, food, ammunition, and life-saving supplies should be available. You should have cash on hand, just in case the dollar still has value. And most importantly, make a plan with family and friends to work together if communication is cut of and chaos ensues. If Russia does what they may be planning to do right now, you’ll be thankful that you were prepared.
