Security Expert Warns of Cyber World War

Prophecy Sign:  Wars and rumors of war

Wars and rumors of wars don't just mean the bullets and bomb forms of warfare, but in our day and age mean cyber wars as well.

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Matthew 24:6-7 NIV

From the articles:

A leading Internet security expert warned Tuesday that a cyber terrorist attack with "catastrophic consequences" looked increasingly likely in a world already in a state of near cyber war. Speaking outside a global conference on Internet security in London, Eugene Kaspersky, a Russian math genius, told Sky News the threat was a real and present danger. "I don't want to speak about it. I don't even want to think about it," he said. "But we are close, very close, to cyber terrorism. Perhaps already the criminals have sold their skills to the terrorists -- and then ... oh, God."

Hackers from around the world have attacked Palestinian servers, cutting Internet service across the West Bank and Gaza, the Palestinian communications minister said on Tuesday. "Since this morning all Palestinian IP addresses have come under attack from places across the world," Mashur Abu Daqqa told AFP on Tuesday afternoon. "The sites have been attacked in an organised using mirror servers. "I think from the manner of the attack and its intensity that there is a state behind it, and it is not spontaneous."

"Israel could be involved as it announced yesterday that it was considering the kind of sanctions it would impose on us," he said.
