FBI Warns of 'Cybergeddon' Threat
According to the FBI, cyber-terrorists pose a massive threat to the United States. How great a threat you ask? Well they place the prospect of a 'cybergeddon' just behind that of WMD's and atomic war. Ok, so we have your attention...'Cybergeddon' is the term used to describe an attack by hackers on a country whose infrastructure is run primarily by computers. The hackers we're talking about are not lovable or quirky or even young and cool/misunderstood. They are intent purely on disrupting and/or crippling entire countries, and they are getting closer to achieving it. Russian hackers manipulated computer networks in Estonia and Georgia last year, after which it became clear that the Web is a perfect place to play out political vendettas (and come out smelling like roses).
The international intelligence community is now communicating like never before in an attempt to thwart what could be the most debilitating, far-reaching attack of all: A cyber one. We can't see these attacks, but trust us, if and when they happen, we will all feel them. [From: physorg.com]

I believe something like this could happen to the usa. we are a country whose financial system is ran fully by computers via intra/internet connections. It's truly amazing that this hasn't happened yet. And if it happened now with the country's financial system so weakened, imagine what would happen? then again, don't.

If and when it does happen, you better hang on to your azz. It will make the movies seem like a walk in the park.

Doom and Gloom, Panic and Fear. That's what people and the media thrive on apparently.
Yeah yeah, this is possible. But you know what . . . we will continue on living IMO.
I don't know. Maybe because I trust in God and don't get scared over things like this, I should consider those who don't have security in God and understand that they indeed do get so scared over these thoughts and possibilities.

Other countries have no need to bring down the United States, because you are ALREADY DOING IT TO YOURSELVES better than any "terrorist" could possibly hope to achieve! Given the way you are going, you'll be a Third World police state within another couple of years. Like Obama just said - thing are going to get a LOT worse. What he failed to mention (so far) is that they aren't going to get better again in your lifetime (if ever.) Instead of spending on new technology, you chose to blow up barren stretches of desert wasteland with mountains of million dollar bombs. Smooth move.
