The 1988-2017 Global cyber-warfare incident records index

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) Germany- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 5) Mexico- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 6) Canada- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 7) Australia- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 8) N.Z.- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 9) Ukraine- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 10) Iran- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 11) Turkey- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory.
 * 12) UK- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory and spying in general.
 * 13) France- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory and spying in general.
 * 14) Italy- Specific targets such as a airbase or factory and spying in general.
 * 15) 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!
 * 16) Organised crime- Ransomwere, steeling data, virusing, DDOS attacks, zombifying computers, locking computers, destroying computers and finding stuff to use for blackmailing.

Overview
On May 12th, 2017, starting with the UK's NHS, Spain's Telefónica S.A., Spain's energy system, El Mundo and possibly some minor US health firms and a O'Porto dentist's surgery. A total of 11 nations were hit by 6.10pm (UTC) and 74 by 10.30pm (UTC).

A black, white and red or black only screen with a image of a lock on it, containing red, black or white text notice came up on the screen saying show a program demanding $300 (£230) in Bitcoin that looks similar to ransomware known as WannaCryptor or WCry. If it is not done, the shit heads say thay will wipe the data.

Only go to a UK hospital or the doctor if it is a life or death emergency until the crisis is over.

The virus
WannaCry, also known as WanaCrypt0r 2.0, is a ransomware software package. In May 2017, a large scale infection started affecting Telefónica and several other large companies in Spain, as well as parts of the British National Health Service. Many other countries were attacked by WanaCrypt0r 2.0. Other targets in at least 11 countries were also reported to have been attacked around the same time. WannaCry is believed to use the EternalBlue exploit to attack computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems.
