Since we are crashing their economy get

ready for cyber attacks to disrupt ours.

[Joinfortmill]

1. Yup

[gab13by13]

2. OK DUers, if our power goes out,

meet at my house, bring generators and cards. I have gas and beer.

3. Seriously,

if Putler does a serious cyber attack like shutting down our electric grid then we are headed for WW III.

[boston bean]

4. I was thinking banks.

[BGBD]

7. If he does either...or anything close

He won't need to worry about Kiev anymore.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. My solar panels with battery back up are Putin-proof.

6. whatever.....

ifs, buts, candy....nuts. Not gonna worry or freak out about those cretins. We are in a position of power, not them. They are significantly weakened by Putler's crazy invasion of Ukraine. We have hackers too. 'Anonymous' has been busy today and they've had multiple government sites down so....there's that.

People have to realize, this is a whole new world and we can't back down to this SOB. He's formidable but not invincible by any means. Take heart and solace from the Ukrainians and their bravery, I know I have.

8. Putin

I don’t think Putin wants to provoke Biden into unleashing the formidable offensive cyber capabilities of the NSA.

[Tickle]

9. Honestly I don't

think he cares. Nor does he care if he stands alone. He probably thinks it is bravery. The guy is the devil a crazy cold blooded killer

10. Who,said anything about backing down?

Prepare is backing down? Getting ready for it is backing down. I don’t think so.

[GoCubsGo]

11. Biden warned the utilities, banks, etc. about this a few days ago.

Hopefully, we won't have to find out which of them took precautions, and which didn't, and that they all have good back-ups. I really don't understand why our utilities are on a system that can be reached by outsiders, even the domestic sort.

12. Like Solar Winds?

They timed that one poorly. Had they strategically waited to spring it to coincide with their current aggression it would have had a psychological effect. Instead it amounted to nuisance Saber rattling.

Now we’re stronger and less likely to have our cyber defenses penetrated.
