The 1988-2017 Global cyber-warfare incident records index

The 12 golden rules

 * 1) Always use a password login!
 * 2) Never tell anyone your password or pin-numbers!
 * 3) Never issue your password or pin-numbers on line except for stuff like site log-in boxes if you are logged out of your account on arrival!
 * 4) Always use a security system like MacAffey, AVG or F-secure!
 * 5) Always back your data up on a memory stick to avoid any loss of stored data!
 * 6) Never visit dodgy, pornographic, terrorist condoning or state out illegal sites!
 * 7) Regularly delete your browser history.
 * 8) Never open spam e-mails from people or organizations you have not subscribed to.
 * 9) Never use Chinese or Hong Kong made and\or programmed web-cams, they have a special command code in and can spy on you when in use.
 * 10) Try to use use Portuguese, Dutch or Irish made and\or programmed web-cams, because they (so far) can't spy on you when in use.
 * 11) Turn off the internet in your building at the rooter if things go crazy and engage your computer's security scan and disk cleaning system.
 * 12) Reboot it with the system's restore disk if it crashes to often.

The attackers plan
To take over online devices and either hack, zombiefyed or other wise take them over. Zombiefyed stuff can also be used to spew erroneous messages on line to swamp out and collapse sites and ISPs.

The October 2016 denile of service (DDOS) attack was directed against a major internet host: New Hampshire-based Dyn Inc. badly disrupting traffic to and from major internet services including Twitter, Spotify and Amazon.

National modus operandi

 * 1) Russia- destroy all on-line stuff
 * 2) USA- destroy military and corporate on-line stuff.
 * 3) Israel- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 4) Iran- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 5) Turkey- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 6) UK- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory and spying in general.
 * 7) France- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory and spying in general.
 * 8) Italy- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory and spying in general.
 * 9) China- paralyses all of E-space with ddos attacks and steels corporate secrets. Theory holds that all that a Chines and Hong Kong web-cam sees, when swiched on, also gose to the Chinese secret service to be drained of any corporate secrets it films!
 * 10) Organised crime- Ransomwere, steeling data, virusing, DDOS attacks, zombifying computers, locking computers, destroying computers and finding stuff to use for blackmailing.

Dyn Inc  and Liberia attacks in 2016
On 21 October 2016, Dyn's networks were attacked three times by hackers using a DDOS attack, causing major sites including Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Amazon, Netflix, Airbnb, Spotify, Runescape, and its own website (http://www.dyn.com), and many others to become unreachable.

The principle sources of the attack including cameras, residential gateways, computer printers and baby monitors, that had been infected with Mirai malware.

Liberia was the cut off by similar attacks on November 3rd and 8th.
