Is This What The First World Cyber War Looks Like: Global Real Time Cyber Attack Map

Tyler Durden's picture




 

After a series of cyber failures involving first UAL, then this website, then the NYSE which is still halted, then the WSJ, some have suggested that this could be a concerted cyber attack (perhaps by retaliatory China unhappy its stocks are plunging) focusing on the US. So we decided to look at a real-time cyber attack map courtesy of Norsecorp which provides real time visibility into global cyber attacks.

What clearly stands out is that for some reason Chinese DDOS attacks/hackers seem to be focusing on St. Louis this morning.

Whether this is related to the series of suspicious cyber failures today, is so far unclear, although if there is a connection at least there is a way to keep track of the first global cyberwar in real-time.

St. Louis is the major fiber optic hub and terminal for North America. It connects all east-west coast major systems and Canada as well. People don't realize that this is also a major terminal hub for the worldwide "cloud". That's why this specfic outage effects Europe, North America, and even Iceland.
STL has a Federal Reserve Branch and Boeing Defense is headquartered here.I think the largest data centre in St.Louis is Cybercon

Why is it that every technical glitch is considered to be the Chinese "coming to get us"???      Sound more like the NSA trying to prove to the public that all that "monitoring" is really needed after all....and that we should just shut up and let them go back to keeping tabs on everyone in peace.

most likely because the ip or something is registered there.

when one looks at a bitcoin traffic map most of the worldwide net goes to a ship off the coast of nigeria.

ip geolocation works for the small ones, the big ones may sit elsewhere

When some IP geolocation tools fail to provide a location (e.g. for IPs belonging to anonymous proxies) they report 0 degrees north, 0 degrees east.

Is St. Louis under cyber attack? Probably not

POSTED 3:09 PM, JULY 8, 2015, BY JOE MILLITZER AND PAUL SCHANKMAN

"...ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – Is St. Louis at the center of a cyber attack from China? A company that monitors threats on the internet shows a large amount of traffic headed into the area from China.  They say this map posted online may be misleading.  There are a lot of traps at their administrative headquarters based in St. Louis that make it look like the area is under attack.

 

According to Norsecorp’s Twitter profile they offer, “Live threat intelligence & unmatched visibility into the darkest corners of the Internet.”  A map on the company’s website shows a lot of activity coming from locations in china to IP addresses located mostly in St. Louis, Kirksville and Seattle. The majority of targets listed in the map are located in the US with origins in China.

 

For those following the rumors of a concentrated cyber attack on St. Louis via China, reporter Paul Schankman has information from the company causing the stir.  The company’s administrative headquarters is based St. Louis. Because of that, a disproportionately high number of the electronic “honeypots” they use to find suspicious activity are in the area. The map being circulated showing the activity is a public page for demo purposes only and shows only 1 in 100 signals being tracked.

 

Bottom line, we are not under attack. We are not going to die. You have to come to work tomorrow..."

Makes sense. Although the 'live' map looks alarming, that's an incredibly small amount and frequency of attacks. A single corp network, maybe. The whole world? Er... hardly. You would need something like NANEX to see the fun on that scale at that frequency.

Psssst - Joe and Paul: The company's administrative headquarters ARE based IN St. Louis. You can be outsourced, dudes. Then you'll have all day to post on ZH!

"The shutdowns were dramatic enough to elicit a statement from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.

“The malfunctions at United and the NYSE were not the result of any nefarious actor,” Johnson said, adding that he spoke with the CEO of United, Jeff Smisek, earlier on Wednesday."

http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-technical-problems-united-nyse-20150708-story.html

 

So, DHS says there's nothing to see here but curiously timing of computer glitches.

 

Whether this is the authoritative statement it purports to be...or the official denial that serves as ultimate confirmation, is up to you to decide.

This is crap.  It must be just what norse is monitoring since there are scans or "attacks" on nearly every peice of web attached equipment all day long every day from all over the world.  China is only a small portion of it.  I've been doing IT for 20 years and this is not even remotely representative of what's happening.  Notice the almost complete lack of hacks leaving our country to other places and what are they defining as a hack?  It can mean almost anything.  This looks more like US propaganda than a map of "hacks".

Actually they do.

If you watch the screen, most of Russia's attacks are coming from within Russia.  It is helpful to use the pause button as you see them scroll by.

Keep in mind that Norse's site does not show all attacks world wide.  It only shows attacks that strike their traps - honeypots, or sites they've instrumented.

The Norse web site is not really an accurate display of real time events. Certain countries, like China for instance, are not going to show up as targets due to their own controls over the internet

Its a misleading display, but it does bring back memories of that silly War Games movie

From a Google search using the hunch keywords, finance, financial, hub, and st. louis:

"St. Louis is one of the largest financial services hubs outside of New York."

"St. Louis is a massive financial services hub, home to a wide range of wealth managers, banks, and other institutions."

Perhaps they're attacking "the backup" when the NYSE is down?

The attacks you see are not real.

But the attackers are.

The reason you see them in St Louis, is because that is the location of one of Norse' "HoneyPots"- ergo a site placed specifically for the purpose of being an attractive attack target.

Norse's site does not purport to show all attacks...meaning that if your site had an IT profile similar to Norse's in St Louis... you would be suffering attacks similar to the ones they are showing.

That doesn't mean you'd see your site being attacked on Norse's map.  They can only monitor their 'trap'...the honeypot...

St Louis is the biggest bandwidth backbone hub for this country. So it looks like it is all coming into St. Louis. However, the real locations are unknown once it gets there. That is why attacks look to be targeting, St. Louis, Seattle, and Pittsburgh.

 

What I am wondering though is why the attackers are Chinese banks and where the final destination of those attacks is going?

Wed, 07/08/2015 - 16:15 | 6286993 gcjohns1971

St Louis and the other targets shown are the places where Norse has sensors. 

Norse can only show an attack against one of the sites they've instrumented, or one that they've set up for the purpose of being attacked.

I find it interesting how quickly the people are calling Norse's information a dishonest attack on China... I don't think Norse's site or display implicate the Chinese government in any way.

It could simply be a case of more people=more attackers.   But the existence of the attackers, and the direction of their attacks are not theorectical.  They are real-time.  You are seeing it for yourself.

Why?

You need to understand that most internet attacks are automated, and don't have a live hacker on the other end "War Games" style trying to guess the password for entry.

Instead they use an exploit or exploit kit, to gain some control over a third party system, and then will program that system to search for, and attack targets meeting a profile they specify.

So Norse's map does not show Chinese government sponsorship of attacks.  It might not even show Chinese people being behind attacks, though the volume would suggest otherwise.

What it shows is attacks that come from Chinese IP addresses and other nation's IP addresses.  

It is up to you to decide under whose command the attacks are occuring.

The recent Windows "security patches" are KNOWN to contain adware and only God, Himself, knows what else.  The proof is the new "get Windows 10 now" icon/message that appears now.  No security issue there; only it is packaged and delivered as a security patch and is, in reality adware.  However, for those that decide to upgrade; don't expect to be able to revert back; at least without a clean install.

I believe there is a simpler explanation for St. Louis, which is the Administrative Offices of Norsecorp. I believe Norsecorp recently moved their headquarters to California which used to be at the St. Louis office where the company was founded. It is likely that Norsecorp HONEYPOTS are located in St. Louis and encourage cyber attacks for intelligence gathering purposes. Keep in mind these folks sell SECURITY PRODUCTS so having a scary looking cyber attack map is GOOD FOR BUSINESS! Just sayin' Also note that "real" cyberattackers would generally hide their location of origin using something like the onion router (TOR) unless someone wanted you to think the attacks were actually coming from China...who would want to do that?

Start with isreal and those evil things from the most wicked corrupted satanic evil nation ever to be created in the history of the world.

Lies and dis/mis-information all have to be supported by shit, which also floats, but eventually sinks due to meltdown. Lies are unsustainable.

So ask, who is the shit that upholds the lies of the fake war on terrorism that the banksters and lackey govt farktards all profit from? Who profits most from constant warmongering and false flagology put into actions for their puppet masters, the rottenchids?

Yuppers! You guessed it. The slimebag puppets and stooges of isreal, that evil apartheid nation of scoundrels and liars deluxe who are no less than puppets and slaves to their pig faced snake masters that all kow-tow to lucifer/satan/EVIL at the end of the train. Again, no denying this truth, unless you are just stupid.

Now ask yer self, do you want to be one of those sataning liars to the last breath that is no less than shit upholding the lies and dis/mis-information, or do you want to float like the truth that never sinks and always comes back to bite those who lie on the arse?

Choose well, said the Ancient and Accepted Knight.

Hard for me to believe the China story although nothing is impossible

Chinese market frozen, so Chinese cannot sell Chinese stocks. If Chinese have cash outside the country, and the ability to make buys, would they really buy on the NYSE if the western banks were facing losses from GREXIT? If EU unravels, so does consumption, and so go stocks

Chinese might sell western stocks, however, if they feared Western stocks were going to dive

I have been telling friends to expect a phoney hack attack on the stock exchange, to stall a sell off.

Doesnt mean it wasnt China. If US market crashes, China loses its consumer base in the US and EU. Who is gonna buy all the lawn ornaments, and jet fighter components if the West free falls. China is not yet ready for full war

But the 2016 elections fall apart if the US economy tanks. Who do I fear more? The Chinese or DemGop presidential ambitions? The DemGops would kill my mother to retain power. The NSA can stage any kind of DNS.

The Wh has done a perfect job of making the public disbelieve everything. That is the goal of propaganda. Now they can toss any BS because the press wont even report it

American Firsters, this is an attack by China 

IT'S NOT A FALSE FLAG ATTACK

Everybody with half a brain knows that false flag attacks stop at the digital door.

While it is simple to gas the enemy outside Damascus and pin the blame on others, shoot down a passenger plane over the Ukraine and pin the blame on others, and ditto, shoot a president, then shoot the man who shot him and then give brain tumors to that guy, 

there can be no doubt about who the hacker is when important sites are compromised.  Just ask our lying clowns in Washington.

I call BS on this map.  If I were going to initiate attacks on another country I would use my own botnets inside that country.  I don't even think DDOS attacks really apply here unless it is some sort of diversion.... distributed denial is generally an overload scenario.  It sounds like these companies private networks (that should have little to do with US inbound traffic like that) are breached.

This is like when china, who has thousands of govt run hedge funds and various other financial institutions attacked the markets and the US. Who do you think was responsible for the crash of 2008? And is was sept 11 if you read the whole kit and kabuttle of what and when the fed knew about Lehman as well as others. It was about breaking the buck in the money markets which prevent businesses the ability to get short and medium term loans. But enormity of money being drawn out was staggering
Just listen to paul kanjorski. " somebody threw us in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean without a life raft and we're trying to determine if we can swim that far. WE JUST DONT KNOW."
Although pointing out China's involvement about anything financial can get you banned from this site. I miss my buddy Shitgum. Although I haven't seen GW in a while which coincidentally coincided with his banning. Verddy interestink indeed! Hope your still out there my man.

 August/2008 was the Year of Intervention?

The markets are supposed?... self-correcting mechanism?

Butt, AIG was an exception. Wasn't it? and, Why?

The US Markets should have taken their medicine and endured the pain, if not for the 0.01% disagreeing.

Greenspan, Bernanke led the charge of the greatest financial markets (respected?) in the world into the abyss.

Irrational Exuberance was but a 'catch-phrase' for exploiting the sheeple's guilt-conscious,... whereas it was a foregone conclusion the NYSE nadir layed upon a pebble in the eye of the 'Almighty Fed'?!?

The well has dried-up! Priming is useless with negative?rate(:-)... and the country is running on fumes, with a broken-debt clock. Yet, we see the Chinese markets as backwards and dysfunctional. WTF!

China sees what's happening. A no-brainer that a child's mind can grasp. Yet, the american sheeple find it unimaginable to comprehend our malfeasance and corruptness with the likes of being 'Corzine'd', and the king of  'Credit Defaults Pyrimid Scheme' , Sir Greenberg of AIG' suing the gov't?, for retribution.

Bailing out failed enterprises/ corporations/ quasi gov't-private entities, etc., etc., is against the 'Ten Commandments of Finance', Period!

The USSAs Federal Reserve is all respect a mirror image of the PBOC with regard to controlling the purse strings of the country. In fact, I would like to go further and say that,...the PBOC is actually moar open? The Fed is a private bank running the USSA that answers to no one. NO ONE!!!

The Chinese make it their responsibility to have those of malfeasance and manipulation get their due justice. Yet, since 2008, not a single felon in the financial crisis in the, 'good-old-boy-0.001%-USSA`system' has gone to jail. Oh, yeah,... there's Maddoff, but we know the score when you fuck with the tribe? and our one? Shame? 

Lastly, to make it short and sweet,.. the next few days should tell us where were going in the markets with a good ole correction of 1000pts in a couple of days to scare the fuck out of the american-made algos whose AI is challenged only by despotic/ fascist outdated humanoid`circuit-breakers that aren't 'ground'dead fault'd by DARPA?

Imagine the technology to switch-out a giga-byte/nano-byte bit that literally interrupts the signal with no variance and replicates a binary function? Imagine??? That?!?

Doesn't take much to spoof IPs, and say this is originating here. Especially when you control most of the grid. A real cyber attack from either the PRC or the RF would be on Sierra Vista. But someone on the inside would have to open the door for them. That may yet come ..

St Louis is NorseCorp's main site.

 

Keep in mind this map does not show all attacks in the world, only the sites that Norse has instrumented.

Also keep in mind that these attacks are on 'Honeypots' - basically a trap that is put there explicitly to be an attractive target.

As for the China part...keep in mind it could be as simple as China has the largest number of tech-savy internet users (potential hackers) while the US has the largest number of E-commerce internet sites (potential targets). 

Put the two together and you would still get this map...
