I remember there was a bit of argy bargy last year between the Americans and Chinese with accusations of attacks against each other.

I wonder how vulnerable Ireland is? I'd say most infrastructure water electricity etc is still based in the 50s so we don't have too much to worry about.

why would you be concerned about hackers affecting our water infrastructure? we can **** it up well and good all on our own!

Ever see Die hard 4 or 24?? Everything can be controlled with a computer. Especially water...

dr.bollocko

Those pipe bursting hacker bastards.
They done goofed. I'm a backtrace em. The CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVAR BE THE SAME!

4chan is working fine

MrStuffins

Guys like this are so amazingly talented that they know a computer inside out and have the ability to attack massive websites, city infrastructe (apparently), government agency databases etc.........

..... but still can't come up with a name less homosexual than "The Jester"

TeddyTedson

this reminds me of Die hard 2.

4chan is fine, but it looks like /b/ has been attacked.

Actually all he can do is DDoS

AnonoBoy

This reminds me of War Games.

Have they engaged the hive mind central computer that controls 4chan in a game of tic-tac-toe yet?

dunno. I used to worry as a kid about the dam at poullaphouca collapsing. I could just see the govt deciding to decentralize the control room to leitrim and forgetting to put a pw on the server or something.

I'd hardly call it a cyber war. All /b/ can do is DDos sites. I love how the media make out they're some sort of elite hackers.

He's not DDoS'ing , he has some program that uses a different technique to crash websites

This country can't even handle the weather never mind a cyber attack.

The Jester? I always get a kick out of these types of internet names. The Jester, the Warlock, the Wizard, The Sorceror. Stop playing Dungeons & Dragons

The site itself is nearly worse than the content.
