When do you think Internet 9/11 will happen ?

[Love]

I wouldn't be surprised if such an event would take place within the next 5 years, have a hard time imagining we could go 10 years without this happening.

[Midori]

what the **** is interenet 9/11.

[Brago]

The internet is WAY bigger then the twin towers. (Figurtively)

It won't happen. There are so many different security systems, and its a global truth.

I can see it happening in NEVER.

[CrimsonNuker]

I didn't know the Internet is supposed to be crashed by planes.

[Skyve]

And that people would die.

[BuDo]

Erasing all the major bank's and financial institution's records from all stored locations would have an effect larger than 9/11... It would be sweet to watch the economy crumble overnight creating panic amongst the rich and wealthy.

I don't understand the topic.

Can someone explain to me how this would be "sweet"?

[_Dutchy_]

[[SD]Twysta]

[SM-Count]

I c whut you did thar

btw, I am assuming it is russians and chinese mostly, although I'm sure religious extremists from the Middle East have their hacking targets too.

It's one of the reasons I keep a generator and a supply of gas.

dunno i guess the internet 9/11 will happen just after the 8th of november but of course its just before 10/11

silly americans why do you have to get all confusing with your dating system

days (shortest)
Months (medium length)
years (longest period of time)

written like this day/month/year

how does it make any sense going month/day/year?

as for the internet meltdown these days you would have to hit pretty much any large server on the planet to bring down the internet as we know it but the internet as a system will remain aslong as there are a number of computers stil networked.

if thats not what you mean i dont know at all what your on about the internet is already been hacked its no big deal no one will die maybe a few lose their jobs thats about it life will go on

Creepy critters running loose 9/11 .. eh?

[poehalcho]

Potential e-9/11 scenarios I can think of:

- Facebook hacked, all personal info of millions revealed.
But would it actually really do that much?? correct me if I'm wrong, but nothing is bought through facebook. Few people will lose money or anything of extreme importance. I actually imagine the userbase of facebook simply dying off, which more or less can be considered a good thing...

- Ebay hacked
Now this one I can imagine becoming a problem... it's probably the biggest site out there with people's bank account numbers and stuff like that, I imagine this could truly become a large problem. But still I wonder, would it be a true 9/11 blow to the internet as a whole?

- Google hacked/taken down for a looooong time
Possibly the most destructive so far. I imagine a sudden surge of people failing at things in real life, because they can't google how to do trivial stuff. I think we could actually expect deaths?

[omier]

Will never happen.

But if it were to happen, deaths will surely occur due to idiots commiting suicide realizing they can no longer connect to Facefuck.

NOOooooooooooOOooooo I MUST KNOW HOW TO MAKE GINGER TEA AND HOW TO FIND A WAY TO BYPASS MEGAVIDEOS TIME LIMIT OR ELSE I WILL EXPLODE FROM BOREDOMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

lol. But rly. Google has increased my laziness exponentially.

Are you seriously trying to argue about dating format??
Americans generally say November 10th 2011, not 10th of November 2011. That may answer your question.

thats exactly what im saying, why?

it makes no sense its in some farked up order, i am actually curious now to why its done like that rather in the chronological order of 10th of november 2011 (10/11/11)

does anyone actually know the reason behind it?

[MrTwilliger]

Spoiler!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format#Date_format

More importantly, who gives a shit? It's a date order, it's not something to completely derail a thread over. Seriously.

As far as the whole internet thing goes, the biggest downfall of the internet is the lack of awareness of it's users. People don't realise how insecure everything is and one day, it will really screw people over. Just take the Sony attacks, for example. Give it 10 years and it will all hit the fan.

Google has many other things, not just the search engine.

actually it wouldn't be as bad as that
there are constant "backups" to all the databases that have ANYTHING to do with any major financial institution
at most it would cause severe headaches and maybe one or two suicides

thats my point it makes no sense when is it done that way, day, month, year is assending order it makes sense hell year, month day makes sense but monday, day, year has no use other then to confuse people, granted your used to it but that really aint the point. does anyone know why americans do it this way?
