SAN FRANCISCO — Eleven hours after a massive online attack that blocked access to many popular websites, the company under assault has finally restored its service.
Dyn, a New Hampshire-based company that monitors and routes Internet traffic, was the victim of a massive attack that began at 7:10 a.m. ET Friday morning. The issue kept some users on the East Coast from accessing Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr, Reddit, PayPal and other sites.
A cyber attack could certainly cripple a country's economy and infrastructure of a developed nation. And dont forget...the US "gave away" its internet ownership a month ago. Coincidence? Or perhaps a sign of things to come?

BEIJING — A Chinese electronics maker that has recalled millions of products sold in the U.S. said Tuesday it did all it could to prevent a massive cyberattack that briefly blocked access to websites including Twitter and Netflix.

MOSCOW — A gigabyte of leaked emails this week to a top aide of Russian President Vladimir Putin reveal direct political and financial ties with pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
HEADLINE = PROXY CYBER WAR SUSPECTED
It would appear that the glue that would hold the one world order together is quite vulnerable to malcontents. Or perhaps it is just pretext for universal surveillance/monitoring.
