Unmasked! Alleged mastermind of "Project Blitzkrieg" online attack plot against US banks
Brian Krebs has since unmasked the mastermind as a Russian hacker called vorVzakone.
So ... let me see if I have this right. Nobody can track down the people pouring Nigerian scams, porn, and Viagra ads into our mailboxes, nor will anyone admit to the authors of STUXNET, DUQU, FLAME, or GUASS, but they are certain a Russian is planning on an attack against America's banks?
If you believe that one, I have some of Saddam's nuclear weapons to sell you!
We know that the US financial system is stretched to the breaking point, and we know that if the government of either Greece of Spain is driven from office by angry protests, credit default swaps sold by Wall Street against those debts come due, and there is no money to pay the claims. The Euro might even collapse, and that would trigger even more Credit Default Swaps. So it makes logical sense that the US Government will take down the US financial computers, and blame it on Russia (or Iran). This gets Wall Street and Washington DC off the hook, because now the financial melt-down is an act of war, rather than the result of decades of Wall Street crime and corruption and the predations of Private Central Banks.
