Well an argument to this could be that we cant tell its an attack. In a recent report on US weapon systems it was found that even a simple network scan could crash a system.
"Operators reported that they did not suspect a
cyber attack because unexplained crashes were normal for the system."
That exerpt comes from this report which was released two months ago.

We're no longer in a time when Occams razor tells us that the giant radio active spike over the ocean is a nuclear weapons test. Now Occams razor tells us that every crash is simply due to bad hardware or (and sometimes both) a lack of funding.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoIt shouldn't really. If they're really common then everyone already knows how to deal with things when the system crashes, it isn't a big deal. What you need to worry about is what happens when the system that has never crashed and that everyone depends on and no one understands goes down.
- magduf 8y agoAll you have to do is go look at various bridges across the US, and roads in urban areas too. The simple fact is that the US absolutely refuses to maintain or repair infrastructure. So we have bridges rusting apart and even collapsing sometimes with vehicles on them. With a national attitude like that, random unexplained crashes of other critical systems shouldn't be a surprise.
