Scary as they might be, Cyber Attacks are happening even as you read this. To help provide some visual examples of this phenomenon go here: http://map.ipviking.com/#

It is interesting that the two biggest offenders are china and the usa of the cyber attacks.

Yes but after two minutes, the Attack Origins were over 310 for China and 82 for USA whereas the USA was an Attack Target over 600 times and China wasn't even listed as a Target!
This is info in real time according to what I've been told and it's also interesting to note the type of attack being used.

This is why we all need to use a GOOD Anti-Virus program to protect our investment!

I agree, this looks very cool. -for illegal activities, I mean.

Ya i watched it for a while too and noticed that at one time it looked like that one movie (i forgot the name of it) where this boy had broken into a military computer that had AI and the boy fixed the problem by challenging the computer to solve the "game" by running simulations to see who won. There were lots of attacks back and forth and it was kinda scary. It made me glad that it was cyber and not real missiles. But i also noticed that a lot of  the target of attacks was the  government.  I really hope that there is no programs to auto launch stuff.

That would be Wargames: (somewhat cool movie for its time)

One of my favourite films. Yes now that you mention it, it does remind me of that too.

Yeah, but this time, we're getting attacked by different types of destructive devices!!
(instead of Megatons, it's MegaBytes) ...or something like that.
