Cyber Attacks by Governments always attack the weakest links in the chain

The following is one way governments might be attacking us and might have been for years already this way:

First, outside of any organization people wait in cars or on foot and observe people coming out of the office buildings or business headquarters of any kind either governmental or private business.

Next, they look for the least intelligent most upset looking likely alcoholic or drug addicted or depressed employee and then they follow that person to their car and then write down the license plate number of their car.

With only a license plate number they can go back to their governmental authority and they can access who that person is, what their social security number is, what their credit cards are, what their telephone number or numbers are and if they have a criminal record, DUIs or any other characteristic interesting to them.

They obtain this information through the police of their countries directly from the host country (in this case the U.S.) because they might say, "Oh this person is traveling in our country (whether they are or not and we want to know that they are safe to have in our country). However, this wouldn't be true of NOrth Korea. But, because NOrth Korean Section 121 people are trained by Russian and Chinese Secret agents who specialize in Covert computer operations (hacking) we have to realize they all are in concert at this time and NOrth Korea being to blame is actually just a cover for what is really going on at this point in time which is to test if what they are doing will actually work.

So far it has. Sony and the U.S. (so Far) have caved. So, temporarily at least they have won this battle.

But, this is far from over yet.

With the license plate, social security number, phone numbers, credit cards etc. and personal history they then can go to work either blackmailing this individual to give them the information they want (whatever it is) about their company or governmental department worldwide. They might even torture such and individual or threaten the death of one of their family just like North Korea does to all members of Section 121 in North Korea if they don't do just what they are told. Nothing more. Nothing less.

If they don't want to get complaints that might make it to U.S. police or FBI or CIA ears they might just find out what their email address is and start phishing which could be pretending to be someone they know or might know on Facebook (especially if this person is lonely they are going after for information).

And if this naive person or problematic person from a company or Governmental department accidentally clicks on the wrong button at home or at work, malware infects that department in government or business around the world and that whole network begins to get corrupted over time.

So, they only need one thoughtless click on a phishing email to infect an entire network or governmental department. From this, over time they get into the mainframes of that network and eventually get everything by working deeper and deeper over time into that system.

Also, malware by it's very design is very hard to detect because it masquerades as other things that one would think would be helpful like antivirus downloads etc. Because after all, the sophistication when you have billions of dollars to spend on this kind of thing is really extreme and deadly.

So, malware is like a virus that strikes any network and corrupts it and eventually steals all the information if it isn't detected in time.

And what we have seen here with Sony is only the very tip of the iceberg worldwide.

I've thought of a slogan for this:

"One Bad click could end your job or your country".

which is similar to the World War II saying:

"Loose lips Sink Ships"

To not think we are in a war for the Free world and Democracy and Freedom of Speech and artistic expression someone would  have to be REALLY naive at this point don't you think?
