What was the actual attack? Assuming it stole data rather than denial of service.

When you stop to think about all that you could do with that data on gas and dust, well...I don't know.

Ok but... WHY?

Of all the deserving targets, why a telescope?

That's messed up and so useless...

I saw that.... But I thought they would attack them with missiles or something in space our giant space stuff, not this... That's just weak. I mean it's not like these can spy on russian positions on the battlefield, and am pretty sure we have tech up there that can spy on their tech up there.

Yea I get that I know a few people who work at our critical infrastructures, they were prepared in December of last year for increased cyberattacks. To be honest if this does lead to a war I think nations are prepared. I understand from news here that some massive attacks have already been attempted. I don't see it escalating to a point of physical war. It is something even with China, North Korea etc on russias side they could win. Because no one really wins but that's nuclear war. A normal war still devastating to all parties but not something they could win and russia have even pointed that out. But then again norad was blown up was it the west or russia? No idea was it a dam crazy move? Hell yea. But bright side renewable energy should make leaps and bounds now. Just gonna miss Internet when and if it goes sigh new to reddit and will miss it terribly. It has grown on me.
