If you have a problem with the sources name then prove this article wrong!
In another day or so we will probably see other sources arriving at the same conclusion OR correction, but after all who is attacking America, Globalists or Russia, I choose the first.
I will follow up.

Cyber "Attacks" Which Crippled US Internet, Came (mostly) from INSIDE the USA; specifically a US AFB in KS

Post by  Newsroom    - Oct 22, 2016  

 
 
As of 2:00 AM EDT on Sat., Oct. 22, Cyber-Sleuths are still working to mitigate ongoing "attacks"causing massive Internet outages across the U.S. all day.  But a troubling pattern is emerging: The attacks originate (mostly) INSIDE the U.S.
According to the automated attack-monitoring-map offered by FortiGuard, much of today's Internet trouble was caused by attacks launched against Data Centers in Boston, New York, Washington, DC, San Francisco and Seattle.  But the largest bursts of these attacks originated repeatedly from . . . . Wichita, Kansas.
Using the GeoIP lookup system, open public records seem to indicate the attacks originated from a geographic area about 5 miles southeast of downtown Wichita, but there are no large public data centers located in that part of the city.  In fact, the only large anything in that area is . . . . McConnell Air Force Base.   HMMMMMMM.
According to the public web site of McConnell Air Force Base, the first -and perhaps most important function -- of that base is . . . the 184th Intelligence Wing.  "Intelligence" as in . . . information . . . . as in . . .computers!   HMMMMM.
The live attack-map offered by Fortiguard allows anyone to watch the attacks in real time.  There's a link below for you to see for yourself, but we can tell you that several lengthy sessions of watching these attacks has revealed the US is attacking itself.  MASSIVE bursts of attack data come from Witchita to Boston, then New York, then to San Francisco, then Los Angeles, and frequently to Seattle.  Seconds later, these cities seem to "return fire" back against Wichita with MASSIVE bursts of data.  Here are a few examples:
 

WICHITA LAUNCHES ATTACKS

Attacks Boston:


 
 Attacks San Francisco:
 

 

 

 

 

WASHINGTON, DC LAUNCHES ATTACKS

On several occasions, Washington, DC sent utterly gigantic bursts of data against Wichita and Los Angeles.  What's in Washington, DC that has attack computers?   That's a no-brainer: Government.
 
 
Attack salvo sent toward Wichita and Los Angeles
 



 

FOREIGN ATTACKS TOO . . . BUT MOSTLY FROM U.S. "ALLIES"

What makes the attacks of Friday even more interesting is that other attacks - very very large attacks, are striking US Data Centers from (in order of frequency and magnitude):  Ireland, the Netherlands, London, UK,  Australia  and even Turkey . . . . all U.S. Allies!  Watching these attacks take place, it almost looks as though the US is at war with its own allies . . . . unless this is some type of "practice" for something in the future?
After all, why would US allies be engaged in cyber-attacks upon the US?  Unless the US ASKED THEM TOO . . . . perhaps for "testing" purposes in the real world?
The one country that is noticeably absent from sending or receiving attacks: Russia.   Not a peep.  Almost nothing!
There are, however, sizable attacks hitting the US from mainland China and from Malaysia / Indonesia.  But these attacks are nowhere near as large or as frequent as those from Ireland and the Netherlands.
 

WHY IS THE US GOVERNMENT INITIATING CYBER-ATTACKS UPON ITS OWN CITIZENS?

So, what do we conclude from the Friday Internet "Cyber-Attacks?"  Well, for one thing, the patterns seen above are happening over, and over, and over again.  And the involvement of Wichita is VERY obvious.
It appears that either the US is attacking itself, or the US Government (along with its military allies) is attacking its own citizens  to test its abilities in the real world, to see what works, what doesn't and for how long.
But why would the US government attack its own citizen's Internet?  Why would government object to things like WikiLeaks coming out with Hillary Clinton e-mails?   Or Project Veritas videos showing Democrats engaging in systematic election rigging and Hillary campaign staff arranging violence at Trump campaign rallies?  Or revelations that it is the US and NATO misbehaving is leading the world to war with Russia over Syria, and that we in the US/NATO are actually the "bad guys?"   
Oh, wait.  Nevermind.
It is quite apparent that the "cyber-attacks" of Friday, October 21 directly involve facilities of the US Government.  And by that, we mean, the attacks ORIGINATED from facilities of the US Government.  Wichita is a key location for the origin of these attacks.
Bear that in mind as we see how these event either clear-up or get worse.  It looks as though someone in government does not like the free flow of information to, from and among US Citizens.

Fine, here's the first one. Makes a lot of sense.
You should know: IoT = Internet of things.
IoT acronym is used a lot in this article.

Today the web was broken by countless hacked devices – your 60-second summary

Updated Today a vast army of hijacked internet-connected devices – from security cameras and video recorders to home routers – turned on their owners and broke a big chunk of the web.


Compromised machines, following orders from as-yet unknown masterminds, threw massive amounts of junk traffic at servers operated by US-based Dyn, which provides DNS services for websites large and small.


The result: big names including GitHub, Twitter, Reddit, Netflix, AirBnb and so on, were among hundreds of websites rendered inaccessible to millions of people around the world for several hours today.


We're told gadgets behind tens of millions of IP addresses were press-ganged into shattering the internet – a lot of them running the Mirai malware, the source code to which is now public so anyone can wield it against targets.

Well, what have we here? Let's see what's lurking behind door number two, shall we?

Attacks On The Internet Keep Getting Bigger And Nastier

NEW YORK –  Could millions of connected cameras, thermostats and kids' toys bring the internet to its knees? It's beginning to look that way.


On Friday, epic cyberattacks crippled a major internet firm, repeatedly disrupting the availability of popular websites across the United States. The hacker group claiming responsibility says that the day's antics were just a dry run and that it has its sights set on a much bigger target. And the attackers now have a secret weapon in the increasing array of internet-enabled household devices they can subvert and use to wreak havoc.


MEET THE FIRE HOSE


Manchester, New Hampshire-based Dyn Inc. said its server infrastructure was hit by distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attacks. These work by overwhelming targeted machines with junk data traffic — sort of like knocking someone over by blasting them with a fire hose. The attack temporarily blocked some access to popular websites from across America and Europe such as Twitter, Netflix and PayPal.


Jason Read, founder of the internet performance monitoring firm CloudHarmony, owned by Gartner Inc., said his company tracked a half-hour-long disruption early Friday affecting access to many sites from the East Coast. A second attack later in the day spread disruption to the West Coast as well as some users in Europe.

This issue is settled, locked down and put to bed. Ready to cry uncle yet, Dave?

The Rest of the PC World Article wrote:

A Chinese electronics component manufacturer says its products inadvertently played a role in a massive cyberattack that disrupted major internet sites in the U.S. on Friday.

Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology, a vendor behind DVRs and internet-connected cameras, said on Sunday that security vulnerabilities involving weak default passwords in its products were partly to blame.

According to security researchers, malware known as Mirai has been taking advantage of these vulnerabilities by infecting the devices and using them to launch huge distributed denial-of service attacks, including Friday’s outage.

“Mirai is a huge disaster for the Internet of Things,” Xiongmai said in an email to IDG News Service. “(We) have to admit that our products also suffered from hacker's break-in and illegal use.”

Mirai works by enslaving IoT devices to form a massive connected network. The devices are then used to deluge websites with requests, overloading the sites and effectively taking them offline.

Because these devices have weak default passwords and are easy to infect, Mirai has been found spreading to at least 500,000 devices, according to internet backbone provider Level 3 Communications.

Xiongmai says it patched the flaws with its products in September 2015 and its devices now ask the customer to change the default password when used for the first time. But products running older versions of the firmware are still vulnerable.

To stop the Mirai malware, Xiongmai is advising that customers update their product’s firmware and change the default username and passwords to them. Customers can also disconnect the products from the internet.

Botnets created from the Mirai malware were at least partly responsible for Friday's massive internet disruption, according to Dyn, the DNS service provider targeted in the assault.

“We observed 10s of millions of discrete IP addresses associated with the Mirai botnet that were part of the attack,” Dyn said in statement.
