National State of Emergency Declared Over Threats of Cyber-Attack
Monday March 25th 2013
A wave of panic has spread over the entire nation overnight as a threat of cyber-attack was issued by an unknown group "Bring it Back", or BiB for short. The threat, in the form of a website, promises to attack and bring down the children's online game, GraalOnline Classic by exposing classified and sensitive documents surrounding the administration, namely head and body graphic files.
"We are the members of Bring it Back. We will be stopping at nothing until we get what we want. What everyone wants. […] You are not alone. We speak for every Graalian. […] We will be systematically uploading admin heads, bodies, and anything else we can dig up." read the imposing declaration on the group's homepage.
Initially responding to reports of the site, police have spent thousands of man-hours working around the clock to identify the perpetrators, however absolutely no leads have surfaced. "They are well and truly anonymous" admitted the head of investigation in a public statement. The US Congress has held an emergency conference to discuss precautionary measures regarding this incident, and what actions to take in the event of Graal's all-but-confirmed demise. Just minutes ago, President Obama has delivered a speech to address the nation about this terrible declaration:
"We have never seen atrocities at such a scale before […] to systematically expose the files of the administrators is to cripple the very foundations of the establishment itself. While the Department of Homeland Security has allocated troops and other assorted military resources to protect the citizens of Graalia from such a horrifying impending attack, I fear we may have to prepare for the worst. BiB is here, and we are helpless against them. Their threat is very real, and very dangerous."
Governments across the world have also responded with similar despondency. The British Parliament has planned a meeting to discuss contingency plans, and rumours claim that even the Vatican will be making an announcement soon.
More on this as events unfold.
