Possible Cyber Attack on Major Banks

[ThePythonicCow]

The following thread was inspired by a post over here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?87016-Turkey-shoots-down-Russian-jet-near-Syrian-border&p=1023229&viewfull=1#post1023229) by Buddha's Palm. I left his original post where it was, and started this thread with the follow-up posts, which deserved their own thread.

This opening post to this thread was actually composed after the first four reply posts below, but was "back dated" so it would appear first in this thread (one of the little benefits of being a forum moderator or admin <grin>.)

The basic idea: There may be a major cyber attack planned in the coming weeks on some major New York and other Western banks. The attack would likely be blamed on China or Russia. It would cause rapid financial stress on the U.S. and a major economic and monetary collapse.

The attack would be used, as such major constructed events usually are, to serve multiple purposes:

Some insiders would make a bundle, by knowing and influencing what was going down.
The massive, stupendous, humongous overhang of debt and derivatives, centered around the Federal Reserve and its owning banks would collapse.
A likely bank holiday for a week or two would allow for reshuffling the deck (more for them, less for us, blowing up some debt, etc).
A lack of most banking services (ATM's, credit card processing, check cashing, cash withdrawals, and even food "stamps" (a credit card like scheme processed by JP Morgan and funded by the US government) would lead to stress, hunger and economic turmoil, nation wide.
Likely some sort of Cyber Security Bill is sitting on a shelf in Congress, ready to clamp down on some of our Internet freedom, just as the "Patriot Act" clamped down on other freedoms, after 9/11.
The BRICS nations, with the alternative banking and payment systems they have been building up rapidly the last two years would be little effected, and greatly blamed.
The shift from the US Dollar as the world's Reserve Currency to other forms, less based on debt-based money (lent into existence) would make irreversible strides forward.
The Western Bank funding of the both the "Terrorist" threat and of the illicit drug business would take a major hit.
Some of the criminals of the Bush Crime Family, portions of the CIA, the Mossad, and some other portions of the Neocon-Zionist-Rockefeller criminal and genocidal families and organizations would be at dramatically increased risk of prosecution and losing power.
Some of the truth about black ops technology, and of false events such as 9/11/2001, 7/7/2005 (London), the JFK Assassination, and other such would become more widely known and accepted by the public.


As noted above, the following four posts were written before the above post, in response to the post over here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?87016-Turkey-shoots-down-Russian-jet-near-Syrian-border&p=1023229&viewfull=1#post1023229) by Buddha's Palm.

In my (current) estimation, such an operation, kicked off by a cyber-attack on some major US and Western Banks, with the sort of deeply disabling effect that the December 2014 cyber attack on Sony (blamed on North Korea) had on Sony's internal operations (described in Flash's post, next below), would be an ideal way to trigger the changes that some of the bastards in power have in mind for us, including dismantling the Petro-Drug-Dollar monetary system, run out of the New York Fed and associated organizations, which has reached the end of its lifetime.

Buddha palm, although this has its place here, i think it should also be on a thread by itself.

I will bump you 20 times if needed. You are nailing it!!! And we would have only the TV and radio to rely on for information!!! WHat a way of controlling!

And all directed from higher up than Russia, in fact, it may as well have been thought of in the USA.

Sony example being followed thoughout the US corporations and governments. So, Sony was the practical target for which North Korea was blamed, probably falsely. Now we can spread the problem and get to control the American population. Through their main addiction!!


Sounds and feels soooooo much like the American/British/Israeli/Russian/Chinese cabal plans!!!

Sony employees had to pay in cash, go back to written checks, etc etc. But at the end, they ended up liking the new way of contacts it created: face to face interactions! Communities build up!

All this while the BRIC countries are fine!! Yes, this would provoke real anger in the WEST, but this is provoked by the west as well.

So the Cabal is hitting on all fronts: Europe with the Syrian immigrants and fear of terrorism, Middle East with war, Russia with Ukraine problems and Syria, now China will get involved but is not there yet, just remaining major problems in the USA to have the whole world in crisis.

People may go nut, not knowing what to think, not having enough information to start with.


http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/users/2015/11/sony_employees_on_the_hack_one_year_later.html

This article is really Worth reading in its enterity - it tells you what happen when a hack is widespread in all areas.


Inside the Sony Hack

very morning, like so many of her colleagues, a television writer would drive from her Hollywood apartment to the Culver City, California, lot of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Greeting her at the gate most days was “this really, really nice woman who said, ‘Happy Monday! Happy Tuesday! Happy Wednesday!’ ” she says. “Like, welcome to the fake small town that you work in!” The guard would push a button. The gate would lift. The screenwriter would park under a 94-foot-tall rainbow sculpture, an homage to The Wizard of Oz. She’d walk down a brick lane, past mammoth billboards for the studio’s upcoming releases, and through towering façades painted like quaint shops—a dry cleaner, a bowling alley, a cinema marquee. Then she’d enter her office and write some TV.

Last year, the Identity Theft Resource Center recorded data breaches at 783 businesses, banks, schools, health care outfits, and government systems. Together they exposed north of 85 million sensitive records, including Social Security numbers, health histories, banking details, and account passwords. By the ITRC’s count, the Sony breach was a blip. Just a couple of months earlier, hackers had made off with the credit card numbers of 56 million Home Depot customers. But the Sony hack was small like a bull’s-eye. It was a targeted assault on a whole organization, not some inchoate diaspora of Anthem health insurance members or recent Target shoppers. It was one of the first hacks to expose not just the metadata of our lives, but the substance of our relationships. And it was the hack that made many of us wake up to the importance of cybersecurity, by adding drama, George Clooney, pot humor, and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un to the mix.


“It wasn’t just one system or one part of the lot or one building. The network was completely chewed up by the virus."


“It was like a bomb went off,” one staffer says. “We looked around. We were still alive. So we started doing triage.”


The telephone directory vanished. Voicemail was offline. Computers became bricks. Internet access on the lot was shuttered. The cafeteria went cash-only. Contracts—and the templates those contracts were based on—disappeared. Sony’s online database of stock footage was unsearchable. It was near impossible for Sony to communicate directly with its employees—much less ex-employees, who were also gravely affected by the hack—to inform them of what was even happening and what to do about it. “It was like moving back into an earlier time,” one employee says. The only way to reach other Sony staffers was to dial their number directly—if you could figure out what it was—or hunt them down and talk face to face.
.....

“It was an Earth-shattering change,” an ex-employee says. “There was no ability to reference anything else that had happened before the hack.” One Sony contractor told me that, when he failed to receive his regular check a month after the hack, he called the company and was told: “Sorry, how much do we pay you?” Systems that got back online quickly were just a “rough draft,” a “weird middle ground,” and “built on sand,” various workers said—totally temporary and not customized to the actual work. Staffers had to use generic forms to complete highly specialized tasks with contractors and vendors.

.....


“It is a toxic dump over there right now in terms of stress and pressure and downsizing.”


After the hack, fine distinctions of status and reputation rose to the surface. Press reports pushed Sony’s long-simmering diversity issues to a boiling point.
....

Last year, the Identity Theft Resource Center surveyed hundreds of victims of identity theft about the emotional aftermath of the crime. Many testified to experiencing denial, frustration, rage, fear, betrayal, and powerlessness in the days, weeks, and years after the violation. And these were people who were wronged by a retail store or a health insurance provider, companies with which they had thin, impersonal relationships. Target is just a place they bought bedsheets. Anthem is a card they brandish at doctors’ visits. The Sony hack hit employees in the place where they spend most of their waking hours and expend most of their mental and physical energy, and not necessarily because they’re super passionate about filing paperwork for Adam Sandler movies. The leak of information threatened their personal financial futures, and the destruction of property threatened their livelihoods. As one employee put it: “Everything we had to do to make a living became such a chore.”



A large-scale cyber attack against the U.S./Western banking system is expected next month:

Cyber is about to become everyone's problem, not just an issue primarily assigned to the private sector. Imagine for a moment in the ongoing tit-for-tat escalation in the Middle East where NATO forces are pitted against Russian forces (Turkey comes to mind...), Russia decides to haul off and torpedo the U.S. banking system via cyberattacks. Imagine also that those "in the know" actually help set the stage to make the banking system more vulnerable, in order to justify a more robust response against Russia next year. Similar to the response following the 9/11 attacks, a cyberattack against the U.S. banking system would be construed as another Pearl Harbor event.

The United States would be expected to ramp up involvement in the Middle East while working to shut down the Russian banking system. The only problem with that approach is the fact that Russia has aligned its banking activities with the BRICS nations' banking system, in which a $100 billion monetary fund and development bank headquartered in China has been established to allow Russia and the other BRICS nations to operate independently of the Western banking system, with China slated to take over the Presidency of the G20 next month according to the BRICS Post (2015). Once China assumes the G20 presidency on December 1 (Boll 2015), the window is open for a major cyberattack against the Western banking system. The only recourse for the United States is to appeal to the G20, but China is largely siding with Russia in the various conflicts around the world, and would be highly unlikely to approve any action by the G20 to isolate Russia.

With that said, how will the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) respond to the global stalemate of forces while the Western banking system limps along after a major cyberattack attributed to Russia hackers? There is little that DHS can do, other than minimize domestic uprisings as Americans and undocumented immigrants and refugees are unable to access banking accounts to pay for food and other necessities. Existing resources will be quickly expended in an effort to maintain order.

I will bump you 20 times if needed. You are nailing it!!! And we would have only the TV and radio to rely on for information!!! WHat a way of controlling!

I am reading the post from Buddha's Palm as a forecast of a major cyber attack on some of the largest US Banks (using the Web, upon which those banks depend), rather than an attack on the entire Web. The point is to go after the US Dollar based monetary system. The Web is actually one of the better ways that the bastards have to monitor us, so they might want to keep Facebooger, Twitter, and such working, for the most part.

Also the Sony attack was an attack on a specific corporation ... a focused corporate attack. A similarly focused attack on a few large US banks would devastate them ... as intended, and their collapse would in turn devastate the current, deeply endebted and top heavy with fraud, US financial system.

Even food stamps, upon which over 40 million Americans depend for food, would collapse, as they are dispensed by one of the biggest banks of them all, JP Morgan Chase.

The underlying Internet is world-wide, so it's unlikely that it would be intentionally brought down by a major attack of "one side" against "the other side." Financial payment and banking systems are, however, no longer world wide, especially with the BRICS nations bringing alternatives online rapidly over the last couple of years.

Besides an attack on major US Banks, a perhaps related attack on the major payment processors, such as Visa and Mastercard, would further devastate the American financial system. Without cash from the ATM (down due to the attack on the banks) and without credit and debit card processing, the US economy would enter a "new phase", very rapidly and dramatically.

The outage would not have to last long, perhaps just a few weeks, to motivate some major financial changes, and a "new" (actually probably already sitting on the shelf, waiting, like the Patriot Act was, after 9/11) Cyber Security Bill.

The more I think about this, the more "brilliant" this scheme seems.

There is a monumental pile of debt and derivatives at the core of the Federal Reserve and its correspondent big New York banks that needs to be detonated.

This will require an immense fireworks show, to provide cover for a mind numbing variety of shady dealings and fraudulent resolutions.

What better way than taking down those big banks with a cyber attack from our "arch enemy", the dastardly Chicoms and their best buddies forever, Putin's evil empire.

It would mean the American financial system going into cardiac arrest, with zero warning, freezing out anyone (except a few favored insiders) from running for cover at the last minute to protect themselves. One minute, all is well. The next minute, literally, you can't even buy a bag of rice or beans at Walmart, because neither your credit card nor your food stamp card works.

These last 7 years, since the crash of 2008, have been about piling up the bad debt, which has been growing exponentially beyond all repayable limit, in the Fed, Treasury and a few big banks, most with their names on tall buildings in New York.

The material for this fireworks show (the bad debt and derivatives) has now been gathered through the use of such tools as "Quantitative Easing", and the "bad guys" to be blamed for the explosion have now pretty much finished building their front row seats, outside the blast zone, with their alternative BRICS financial systems.

It's time to light the fuse and give us tin foil hat conspiracy nut jobs something more to chew on for a few decades.

Some earlier news reports on MarketWatch.com this year regarding cyber attacks on big New York banks:

The banking industry’s biggest cyber fears (Feb 2015 -- list of prior cyber attacks on banks) (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-financial-industrys-biggest-cyber-fears-2014-09-10)
New York bank regulator proposes new cybersecurity rules (Nov 2015 -- some new proposed rules to tighten bank cyber security) (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-york-bank-regulator-proposes-new-cybersecurity-rules-2015-11-10)
Banks rehearse ‘Quantum Dawn’ cyber attacks (Nov 2015 -- Recent cyber security exercise held in Sept 2015 by 80 financial institutions) (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/banks-rehearse-quantum-dawn-cyber-attacks-2015-11-23))
Of course, one "useful" result of exercises is to enable those secretly watching to assess the capabilities of the intended victims, the better to organize a real attack :).

As described at length in this new article by Jim Willie, Triggers in USDollar Collapse (http://news.goldseek.com/GoldenJackass/1448589600.php), time seems to be running out on the US Dollar.

Two major failure points will be placing increasing stress on New York banks

defaults in emerging market nations, stressed by the recent collapse in economic activity and by the scarcity of US Dollars to meet their debt payments, and
stress from oil contract hedges due to the unexpected continuation of low oil prices.

The major banks are already in deep trouble, from all the previous accumulation of debt and derivatives, so it seems unlikely they can survive massive additional stresses accumulating rapidly.

Therefore ... if "they" want this to be a controlled demolition that they can blame on some outside agent, such as Chinese hackers, rather than an implosion obviously caused by their own bankrupt morals and finances, they had better hurry up and get the show started.

Meanwhile, the wheels of justice may grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

The Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago filed a class action lawsuit in the US District Court in Manhattan accusing Goldman Sachs Group, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Credit Suisse Group, Barclays, BNP Paribas, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and the Royal Bank of Scotland of colluding to prevent the trading of interest rate swaps

Details at Big US banks plotted to curb rivalry in interest-rate swaps (PressTV.com) (http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/11/27/439345/US-banks-collusion).

This story has also been reported in the last couple of days by Reuters (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/11/26/uk-interestrateswaps-lawsuit-idUKKBN0TF0EB20151126), Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-26/big-banks-accused-of-monopolizing-interest-rate-swap-market), and RT (https://www.rt.com/business/323535-banks-lawsuit-rates-collusion/), amongst others.

My guess is that the list of banks being sued here is a good approximation to the list of big banks that will take a major hit in the coming future.

[Flash]

Very interesting Paul, you may be on the right track here. And this would mean that about nothing could stop the train, except counter measures by the ones who wll be accused (Russians of Chinese) - and if they are in the cahout, they would do nothing.

We are left with Anonymous to do anything to protect the banks!!! About impossible and a kind of oxymoron.

But it makes sense - this could also avoid a third world war throughout the planet,while giving the cabal what they want, a one world currency and complete control (including the internet). While re-establishing a very financially fruitful cold war.

I Wonder what movies etc are saying about this.

I wrote somewhere else here (forgot where) that earlier in the year I heard Cameron announce he would be organising a "joint cyber attack drill with US, it was likely soon after Obama visited. It was almost a throw away comment whilst bewailing 'we are vulnerable to cyber attacks'

[PathWalker]

Great Thread, thanks Paul and Budha Palm.

This thread is PA at its best, with high quality, intelligent and truth nuggets all served to the public.

I do believe exposing attacks can cancel them. Not this time.

I wish to refine, Paul's assertions about the debt system. Debt is not the real concern, since money can and is invented to fill in the losses. The elephant in the room is the public trust in the fiat money. Once trust breached (in all fiat money include USD all over the world) they cannot amend it using the current financial system, and a new system is required. As I see it from where I stand, TPTB are at war on the next financial system.
Saying that as long as people trust the fiat money the financial system can and will persist with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this thread.

[ThePythonicCow]

I wish to refine, Paul's assertions about the debt system. Debt is not the real concern, since money can and is invented to fill in the losses. The elephant in the room is the public trust in the fiat money.
I might put this another way.

The essence of debt-money, and of socialism, is contracts.

Debt money is lent into existence, to individuals, businesses and governments, large and small, in exchange for agreeing to a contract ... to pay back more later, one way (payments with interest) or another (foreclosure, repossession, assassination, invasion, forced bankruptcy, or whatever). Eventually debt service suffocates investment in capital equipment, improved training, and other support for future productivity,causing the ability to meet payments to shrink, even as the debt continues to grow exponentially.

Socialism works similarly. Taxes, fees, tariffs and regulatory overhead are imposed now, in return for the promise of greater good (safety, healthcare, social services, education, ...) later on. Eventually the ongoing costs of the promised goods and services exceed what the ongoing taxes, fees and tariffs can fund, usually resulting in governments borrowing more money to continue to fund the promises, which feeds back into the unsustainable debt burden of the previous paragraph.

The elephant in the room is an armed guerrilla, with overwhelming force of arms, courts, bureaucracies, surveillance and propaganda on its side, to enforce these contracts at all levels, from one homeless person to the world's most powerful nations.

When you go to the bank for a loan, two pieces of paper result. You get a statement showing a deposit to your account. They get a loan document, which gives them, over the long term, greater returns, one way or another. The same works at all levels.

When you accept the dominion of a governing authority over you, in whatever way some "common good" or "elected congress" or "unelected tyrant" might so determine, in a way that you cannot easily opt out of, then eventually the same thing happens. Future promises exceed what can be extracted from present productivity. The parasite risks killing the host.

Eventually, as we're seeing here, there must be some sort of debt jubilee. The overwhelming cost of debt payments so burdens the productivity of civilization that the parasitic lenders must relax their grip briefly, lest their victim die. Similarly, promises of investment returns, insurance and retirement plans, social welfare benefits, free health care and education, etc, must be broken.

The trick is to do so in a way that doesn't give up the game, so that they can continue it.

It's how they control us, and Satan knows, they certainly would not want to lose control,

[norman]

For what it's worth, I think they have 2 plans playing out neck and neck.

If the one succeeds, they can stop the other.

Both involve a wipe out of Petro-drug dollar impossible debt, with no traces for prosecutors to later assemble into legal action.

My estimation of the situation is that they are now SO close to their end game scenario that both plans have to be ready to go at the twitch of an eye. The hotting up of an overt WW3 isn't, in my estimation, really plan A. It's only plan B, if plan A falls to pieces. However, plan B HAS to be cocked and ready. Hence so much military brinksmanship right now.

Key Bankers Told Bank Holiday Is Near (http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2015/12/14/key-bankers-told-bank-holiday-is-near-read-this-before-taking-money-out-of-the-bank/)

...

I am going on the recording by predicting that the Federal Reserve will steal your money by faking a cyber attack. In fact, FEMA and DHS actually practiced for this event on October 23rd and 24th of 2013. As I wrote on June 12, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Bank of London practiced for widespread banking failure on November 10, 2014. On November 16, 2014, the G20 nations declared your bank deposits to not be money and they can take it whenever they want. On August 8, 2012, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the banks own your money when you deposit your paycheck into the bank.

Paul Martin, on behalf of Texas radio personality, Bennie Pope, informed me that a secret meeting has recently taken place in Albuquerque, New Mexico and that the meeting was facilitated by the FBI. The meeting consisted of many major bankers in the west. I have learned that Each banker was forced to sign a binding national security agreement which included a non-disclosure provision. Each banker was told that their communications of both themselves as well as their family and known associates are being monitored to detect leaks. The nondisclosure agreements include a provision to bypass all due process requirements for violating the agreement. Anyone caught violating the agreement, forfeits all personal possessions (e.g. bank accounts, property titles, etc.) and immediately is sentenced to Leavenworth Federal Prison for 25 years of hard labor. This agreement effectively made the bankers intelligence operatives of the United States government. My source for this information is ex-military intelligence and Army Special Operations Forces. This leak is permeating the command brass of the Pentagon as well as military intelligence.

Trying to withdraw anything more than £5k is a huge no-no here in UK! I tried that and they only offered a cheque to be put into another bank! So, go for a daily withdrawal allowance over weeks.....
How I spend my own money is my business, cash is very useful in some instances. It would seem the banks are discouraging cash purchases - trying to abolish cash! Some local shops here still don't have card readers, they only deal in cash. They still supply a great need to the community.
