    Not announced and not right now i only mention it as yesterday all of Amsterdam got wiped out for hours then today Turkey and Missouri , Im begining to think this isnt your standard or average Plant overload and more targeted attacks to induce overloads. The one in Turkey states they have not ruled out cyber terrorism . Sure delete away and bring back if it takes the direction i think it might.

    I won't post links yet as I am a freelance journalist in the middle of writing an article about it. When my article is published I will post links on here.

    You should speak to a guy called Aiden Pearce - he knows a lot about this stuff.

    Look him up...

    He looks interesting enough but the planned cyber attacks are happening here in Ireland not America. Also things got a little more interesting.

    Yeah - he's based in Chicago but he's got a lot of insider information on this kind of thing i.e. systematic hacking into Chicago's public transport system to stop trains and traffic lights etc. Scary stuff...

    This has occurred due to an electrical failure at one of our data centres which caused an increase in temperature in the building and then subsequently impacted some systems affecting customer service.
