Rumble has been down almost all day today.
But it’s not just Rumble.
A serious Cyberattack has been crippling vital U.S. systems all day long.
Watch this breaking news alert from Fox News:
BREAKING NEWS:
MAJOR CYBERATTACK FROM CHINA!
They attack us because they do not FEAR US!!!
— Graham Allen (@GrahamAllen_1) December 11, 2023
There have been reports of a significant cyberattack targeting critical infrastructure in the United States, allegedly carried out by Chinese state-sponsored hackers. The hacking group, code-named “Volt Typhoon,” has been active since 2021 and is believed to be part of a larger effort by the Chinese government to infiltrate key industries and sectors in the U.S.
The attack has affected numerous industries, including government, communications, and transportation, with a particular focus on gathering intelligence. The hackers have used sophisticated techniques to evade detection, such as exploiting vulnerabilities in popular cybersecurity suites and using built-in network tools to infiltrate systems.
This cyberattack has raised concerns about the potential for future disruption or sabotage of critical infrastructure, especially in light of recent warnings about Chinese hackers targeting power grids in the U.S. and Guam. The U.S. government has urged organizations to take steps to protect their systems and prevent further infiltration by these state-sponsored hackers.
This is a pretty incredible depiction of the attack from Kaspersky:

Here’s more from Whitney Webb:
🚩 Whitney Webb on How a Cyberattack Could Help Manufacture Consent for Digital ID
"What this public-private partnership at the WEF is pushing for is for every person's access to the Internet to be tied to a Digital ID…And the goal of that, of course, is if your ID is linked… pic.twitter.com/wmahGWPBmy

Is anyone buying that this is just a “coincidence” that it comes on the heels of Barack & Michelle Obama’s new movie called “Leave The World Behind”….which is about, you guessed it, a crippling cyberattack on the United States.
Predictive programming much?
But that’s a bit on the nose, even for these people:
Barack & Michelle Obama just produced their first fiction film on Netflix called: "Leave The World Behind"
The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power & cripples the United States. (Predictive programming?)
They even managed to sneak in a scene bashing white… pic.twitter.com/55HPiEQSX2

In the movie “Leave the World Behind,” a cyberattack causes a nationwide blackout and destabilizes the country. The film follows two families as they navigate the crisis, with the former president’s experience in disaster preparedness and technology helping to shape the movie’s realism. The film was released in 2023 and stars Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Mahershala Ali.
It’s a stunning connection to the cyberattack in the United States today as both involve a technological attack on the nation’s infrastructure, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity and the potential consequences of such an attack.
Just another huge coincidence!

assessment from the office of the Director of National Intelligence stated that Russia China Iran and North Korea have the capability to cause harm to the
energy grid What also at the same time the Energy Secretary Jennifer granholm confirmed that America’s adversaries possess the capability to shut down the grit what we’re going to talk about that today so look I’ve been in the financial

happen we experiened a little bit but around 2 hours per year on average now here’s the bad news the bad news is much of the US electric grid was built in the 60s and the 7s we’re talking 70 years ago is when it was built currently over 70% of the US electricity grid is more than 25 years old according to the White House so we’ve updated almost everything yeah
