Here's something I found over at Zero Hedge (now that it is up again after an early morning issue...

It shows cyber attacks as they are being tracked....Quite interesting, to say the least, as the little lines shoot over to St. Louis, or Seattle... These 2 areas as well as Chicago seem to be getting the most action at least now....and where is Kirksville??

Surprising, NYC and LA are very quiet...

This looks like Star Wars out there!

The U.S. by far gets the most attacks, Russia second, at least for this moment...
In the last few moments, China's attacks have exploded..

1. Kirksville, it turns out, is the site of a big Air Force Base in Missouri....

so that's probably related to all the St. Louis attacks...

also, picked up from a comment at ZH...

"All I know is that Edward Jones HQ is there, as is a big gov data center of unknown purpose. Boeing has some assembly plants there, but most of the corporate stuff all got moved out long ago..."

Air Force Base and "big gov data center" both seem to be attack worthy....

5. Everything is too small for my eyes to make out the print.

Does look at if one big spot in St. Louis??? is getting a lot of attention.

6. No, just mentions locations

The scrolling showing the attack sources is wild...

The site's blog aldi has news about the latesr serious threats to be aware of...

7. I love that site but

it quickly uses up your browser ram and it doesn't really tell you anything except a lot of action originates in the US.

Unless you want to use that site to hypnotize you to sleep with weird acid visions of nuking the planet in digital technicolor, you don't get any real information about the true sources of rhe attacks.

I would like to see the Norse site accompanied by a realtime tweetstream that explained what was going on and whether it was important relative to any other day. Obviously we're in a permanent stare of cyberwar - but what we need to know is whether this mayters or whether this is kiddies playing on the blacktop.

8. Presumably this is a marketing tool

that shows what a dangerous cyber environment we live in. Norse' admin offices are in St .Louis. If they attack other sites that might account for all that traffic.
