this attack will most likly be just the beginning of a series of cyber attacks in our government and military operations;
WHEN - China and the soviets attacked our spy satilights systems last year and the economic growth of each country makes for a case that their ecomony can withstand a long and protracted war with the United States , while our country has no weapons to combat a large -cyber attack ,while fighting off a new and improved Russian AND CHINA MILITARY…I also want to bring up an issue that no one has sugguested is that if you gain access to the inner workings of a Govnt. classified computer systems the security of Banking systems dont have near the capacity the federal gov. has……..which means that the new cold war is to attack the economy and the military by and through the Nations cyber network..??????????????
