An incident nobody asked for. A suspicion nobody can prove.
The news from Thessara reaches New Guangzhou Prime quickly. The Thessaran Treasury and Pentagon have been targeted by coordinated cyberattack attempts. The attacks failed, but investigators claim the intrusions specifically probed systems connected to Eurodollar financial infrastructure.
No evidence has publicly linked Guangzhou to the incident. That has not stopped people from making the connection. The attacks come shortly after Guangzhou’s renewed rejection of the Eurodollar, placing the Divine State under quiet scrutiny from Commonwealth governments and intelligence agencies. The Eurodollar, despite bad press, did not deep in global markets and national economies remained stable.
Then comes the stranger detail.
During the attacks, Thessaran security personnel reportedly detected unusual bursts of structured signals unlike conventional cyberattack traffic. Thessara has not explained what they were. Nor has it confirmed whether they resemble the unexplained signals being reported elsewhere in the world.
For Guangzhou, several questions now hang in the air:
- Was the attack actually connected to the Eurodollar?
- Was Guangzhou being targeted, or deliberately being framed?
- Who conducted the attack, and what were they looking for?
- And could the strange signals be connected to the wider events occurring across the world?
The Corporate Alliance has no answers yet. But it now has every reason to start looking.
