Dear Investor,
There is a silent but vicious war taking place right now that could quite literally destroy our country.
Our government is spending billions of dollars to defend us as we speak.
Military personnel, government officials, even top corporate leaders—are being briefed and holding meetings (often in secret) around the clock.
And our government has become so alarmed by this growing threat that they are beginning to issue urgent warnings about the dangers we face.
You see, we are being confronted with the next great battlefield of the modern age—and the implications for us as Americans are, quite frankly, enormous.
What I’m about to tell you could turn out to be one of the biggest stories of our lifetimes, on par with Pearl Harbor, the Cold War, or even 9/11.
Your freedom is hanging in the balance.
The elements of your very survival—electricity, our food supply, clean water—are all in jeopardy. I’m not one for hyperbole, so please take heed when I say that this conflict could even trigger nuclear war.
Yet you may not even have heard about this massive threat, and probably have no idea that we are under attack as you read this.
That’s why I urge you to take the next few minutes to read this critical message.
The Sheer Magnitude of the Attacks
Being Waged Will Shock You
One of the biggest threats our country—and we as citizens—face today is cyber warfare. This silent battle rages every minute of every day in cyber space. Make no mistake, while it might seem the stuff of science fiction, this war is real… it is deadly… and the cost to society is simply enormous.
Indeed, the threats against our nation are so widespread and immediate, that it will shock you.
Last year alone there were nearly 200 cyber-attacks against the control systems of our critical infrastructure facilities. That includes our power plants, refineries, transportation systems and water treatment facilities.
And that was a nearly fivefold increase from the number of attacks carried out in 2010!
Imagine a terrorist cyber-attack taking down the power supply in New York, Boston, Philadelphia… the entire Northeast. Such an attack could lead to disruptions on par with the Northeast Blackout of 2003, which took down thousands of businesses and cost our nation more than $6 billion. And that’s likely a best-case scenario.
The worst-case scenario is almost too terrifying to consider…
Imagine terrorists gaining control of a nuclear facility. Or our water supply. Or taking down our entire financial system.
Imagine the chaos, the bedlam, the civil unrest. And none of this is far-fetched.
“The threat from cyber-attacks will equal or
surpass the threat from terrorism in the very near future.”
— Robert Mueller, FBI Director
Top U.S. officials warn that the cyber threat is growing by leaps and bounds—and could be catastrophic. Indeed, intelligence officials have even indicated that other nations and transnational organizations could soon have the cyber capabilities to disrupt or damage vital elements of our critical infrastructure.
Ten years ago, the horrific attacks of September 11 exposed critical holes in our national security infrastructure… and we all know the devastation that ensued.
Now today, top experts believe the cyber threats we currently face are just as widespread… and perhaps even more catastrophic:
Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, has stated, “There is a strong likelihood that the next Pearl Harbor we confront could very well be a cyber-attack.”
Shawn Henry, the FBI’s Executive Assistant Director, has said the threat posed by criminal hackers “could eliminate whole companies.”
Congressman Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has said, “We WILL suffer a catastrophic cyber-attack; the clock is ticking.”
And it’s already started.
Our Energy Supply Is Under Attack
Literally, as you are reading this, the Department of Homeland Security reports that the computer networks of several major U.S. natural gas pipeline companies are under attack by an unknown cyber enemy. The assault began four months ago… it continues today… and it could include Canadian pipeline operators as well.
A whopping 200,000 miles of interstate natural gas transmission pipelines that supply 25% of our nation’s energy are potentially at risk.
These cyber spies so far have infiltrated information available on the corporate networks, but experts warn that it’s often just a short jump from there into a company’s control system network. And that’s where cyber terrorists could manipulate pressure or other control system settings, detonate explosions, or wreak all manner of havoc in our cities and towns.
Rest assured, these attacks are being fully monitored and defended against by the U.S. government and corporate officials. But the technique being used by these terrorists, known as spear phishing, is a major threat.
Spear phishing is, in fact, a weapon of choice for cyber criminals. Essentially, they identify a specific person at an organization, research him or her through social media sites and then send that person a very sophisticated email that appears to be from a legitimate business associate.
Once the recipient clicks on an embedded link or email attachment, the cyber spies gain backdoor access to the corporation’s entire network.
It has the potential to take down our entire energy supply—or potentially our electricity, bank accounts, communication devices, or virtually anything else you can think of.
Beyond terrorists, spear fishing is also a favorite of “hacktivists” (tech savvy groups who use hacking as a way to make political or social statements) and cyber criminals who are in it for the money.
And this is just ONE type of cyber weapon currently employed by our country’s enemies.
That’s why governments and companies around the globe are spending BILLIONS of dollars in a frantic race to ward off an explosion of cyber attacks.
Unprecedented Growth in a $1 Trillion Industry
Cyber crime is estimated to cost society a whopping $1 trillion dollars today.
FBI officials have revealed that one company in particular lost $1 billion in just a single weekend of being hacked (equal to over 10 years’ worth of research and development investment).
Online security vendor Symantec has just reported a whopping 81% increase in malicious cyber attacks in 2011 alone. They have identified an eye-popping 403 million unique types of malware (malicious software). And reports indicate that the number of blocked Web attacks skyrocketed 36% just last year.
The U.S. government has spent over $600 billion dollars on information technology over the last decade and a huge—and rapidly expanding—portion of those billions are being dedicated to cyber defense.
U.S. corporations currently spend over $5 billion dollars on cybersecurity. But studies show that in order to beef up security to a level where they could reliably thwart 95% of attacks, American companies will need to increase spending to an eye-popping $46 BILLION dollars.
That’s an incredible 830% increase in spending—and that’s just in the U.S. alone! Even if these companies don’t go all the way, there is no doubt a massive surge ahead in cybersecurity spending.
Throw in spending by foreign corporations and governments, plus our own growing national cyber defense expenditures, and all told, the global cybersecurity market will be one of the fast-growing markets on the planet. Projected to reach $80 billion in the next five years.
And I think that’s INCREDIBLY conservative.
For us investors, that means the potential opportunities from select cyber stocks are almost too big to even fathom.
Life-Changing Profits From the Cyber Wars
Cybersecurity is a GameChanger of epic proportions.
And it will make savvy investors rich.
Just think about the millions that were made by smart investors during the Cold War from companies that developed revolutionary technologies—such as missile defense systems, space satellites, rockets, and advance communication systems—that helped us win that war.
These companies made an absolute KILLING during the height of that conflict, and their shareholders did too:
Lockheed Martin rocketed 1,492%
Boeing jumped 2,798%
McDonnell Douglass posted a TENFOLD increase
General Dynamics climbed 488%
And that is just a small sample of that era’s huge winners.
Now today, with governments and corporations around the world spending billions upon billions to defend our vital interests and ward off cyberattacks, we are getting a mammoth opportunity to invest in companies and technologies at the absolute forefront of the new Cyber Wars.
The first company I want to tell you about is one such innovator—I am buying its shares hand over fist today, and I’m certain you’ll want to do the same.
Cyber Stock #1:
Little-Known Stock Battling Cyber Warfare in a Big Way
This little-known gem is at the forefront of the fight against cyber warfare. The company has a virtual arsenal of advanced technologies designed to thwart malware attacks like the one I described that’s currently being waged against our energy suppliers.
Companies pay top dollar for their products, I assure you.
That’s because you simply cannot underestimate cyber hackers. These terrorists are extremely sophisticated, and they are constantly updating and modifying their attack methods. As a result, traditional detection software can often be days or weeks behind in identifying a hack.
But the company I’ve found for you today has developed a cutting-edge technology that uses cloud-based computing systems to look across millions of computing machines simultaneously to detect malware attacks in real time.
Plus, they offer innovative “sandbox technology” to verify untested code or programs and assess their legitimacy. What’s more, they’ve recently introduced a next generation firewall that enables them to lock channels that malware moves around on—stopping would-be hackers in their tracks.
This is a HUGE GameChanger not only for the company, but for the entire industry as well. Management predicts this one technology alone will enable them to grow the business 20% or more in 2012.
What’s more, revenues and earnings have been on an absolute tear, trouncing ALL estimates and the stock is poised for a jaw-dropping breakout.
I want to give you the name of this company free in just a moment. But first I must tell you about another urgent threat facing us today that you may not have heard about…
A Real Life Cyber War With Deadly Consequences
As you read this, the United States and China are at war—cyber war, that is.
This month, the U.S. and China are staging their third round of very secret cyber war games.
With tensions mounting in Washington over cyber attacks that it says are originating from China, the two countries agreed to conduct a series of hypothetical cyber conflicts that let officials vent their pent-up frustrations in a “safe” environment.
The goal was to allow each side to express their real-world concerns in an indirect fashion, each hoping to prevent a “sudden military escalation” over real-life cyber warfare.
First on the agenda was a discussion of how each side would handle a threat like this one that actually took place in Iran…
Not that long ago a computer virus or worm, known as Stuxnet (presumably of Western origins), actually shut down Iran’s nuclear facilities.
This brilliantly coded virus essentially desynchronized Iran’s uranium making processes, causing a thousand centrifuges to spin out of control and self-destruct. The attack was entirely undetected until it was too late. And it is said to have set back Iran’s nuclear program by months, at least.
Stuxnet represents a new frontier in cyber warfare, because it didn’t just infect industrial-control equipment… it actually assumed control! Think of it as a digital smart missile, if you will.
Now, want to hear something truly terrifying… the source code for this technology is now widely available on the Internet! And there is a high potential for it to be reverse engineered to attack Western power grids, water treatment facilities, nuclear reactors, chemical facilities and more.
Make no mistake: The malware arms race is WELL UNDER WAY, and companies who develop technologies to defend against these potentially catastrophic attacks are going to make savvy investors millionaires many times over in the months ahead.
Cyber Stock #2:
Stealing Market Share Hand Over Fist
Firewalls are a necessity for companies and governments today, but there are significant threats (like Stuxnet, or its next generation brainchild Duqu) they cannot reliably guard against.
Spam emails, phishing and pharming are all threats that cannot be stopped with firewalls alone. Same goes for Denial of Service attacks that essentially shut down the target’s Internet-based systems.
The cost of any one of these attacks carried out successfully could be catastrophic for many small and medium-sized businesses. Or worse, if targeted at our critical infrastructure, they could simply devastate our cities, states and citizens.
The next company I want to alert you to, though, offers a comprehensive solution to these and other web-based attacks, known as unified threat management (UTM). This leading technology incorporates a firewall, secure virtual private network, and an antivirus and intrusion detection/prevention system rolled into one package.
Bundled as such, the company’s UTM package is cheaper and greener (it uses less power) than the multitude of individual security components that would be required to offer the same protection as stand-alone products.
And it is precisely this type of innovative thinking that has made this company a GLOBAL LEADER at the forefront of network security, with over $1 billion in revenues.
Better still, this security juggernaut has a level of sales profitability that most tech companies can only drool over—more than 40 cents of every sales dollar drops straight to the bottom line!
Plus, with over $3 billion in cash, management continues to buy back shares and look for smart acquisitions to drive sales and revenues through the roof.
And, as if that’s not enough, the company is stealing market share away from its two top competitors hand over fist!
Cyber security is a MONSTER industry with mega profits up for grabs… and this company is a far and away industry giant that’s innovating at a breakneck pace.
Believe me when I tell you that you don’t want to miss out on the blockbuster profits ahead from this and the select cybersecurity stocks I’ve uncovered.
I’ve put all the details, including the names of ALL my current Cyber Picks in a brand-new research report titled, “Colossal Profits From the Coming Cyber Wars.” This report could earn you an utter windfall of profits in the months ahead. The report will soon be available for sale, but I’d like to give it to you FREE TODAY.

Financial Sector at Grave Risk
As I said earlier, sometimes cyber criminals are just in it for the money. Case in point: cyber fraudsters recently penetrated electronic financial transactions in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, and walked off with a whopping $245 million.
Jaw Dropping Profits
Hillary Kramer crafted and fine-tuned her investing strategy during more than 25 years working on Wall Street, where she managed money for some of the world’s wealthiest families and institutions.
Her strategy is wildly successful and amazingly simple. Hilary is adept at identifying blockbuster game-changing trends… and then scouring the market to find leading, undervalued companies at the forefront of those movements.
Using this technique she quickly turn a $1 billion private equity portfolio into a $5 billion juggernaut… became a self-made millionaire by the time she was 30… and retired from the Street by the age of 37.
Her GameChanger subscribers have been pocketing monster profits, locking in a whopping 26 double-digit winners over the last 23 months alone, including:
75% in Westport Innovations
60% in Telvent
68% in Apple
62% in Brookdale Senior Living
40% in Focus Media
36% in Cepheid
42% in Motorola Mobility
59% in Teradyne
61% in Williams Co.
52% in Gilead
48% in Solar Winds
56% in Parexel
…to name a few. Join us now—risk free—to start pocketing profits like these.
FBI officials have warned that, “hundreds of millions of dollars have been stolen, primarily through the financial services sector, just in the last couple of years.” Meanwhile, an organized crime ring in Eastern Europe is known to have earned about $750,000 per week from cyber theft.
On another front, online retailer Zappos.com created quite a firestorm earlier this year when it announced that its network and internal systems had been hacked by a cyber criminal. Sensitive customer information, including credit card details and security passwords, were all jeopardized.
And while Zappos is a behemoth among online retailers—with 24 million accounts at risk—it is by no means the only big-name company to suffer a devastating cybersecurity breach. Verizon, Sony PlayStation, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Global Payments have all been attacked as well.
Indeed, industry experts will tell you that the next big trend in retail—point-of-sale or mobile payment devices—offer cyber thugs a big new opportunity to steal millions of dollars.
Cyber Stock #3:
Blockbuster Profits From the Convergence of TWO Huge New Cyber Industries
Mobile payment devices are popping up everywhere from Starbucks to subways. In Asia and parts of Europe they are already a well established way of life. And there are huge new opportunities ahead as Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa and other developing nations come on board.
The revolution currently taking place with regard to mobile payments is another massive trend that my GameChanger subscribers are banking big profits from.
In fact, these types of sweeping revolutions are actually the heart of my very popular GameChangers service. Our goal is simple… I identify blockbuster trends like this one—well ahead of Wall Street—and show my subscribers exactly where to invest for maximum profits. And our system works. We have locked in 30%, 50%, even 80% gains month after month… totaling 26 double-digit winners in the last 23 months alone!
So I’m very excited about mobile payments, to be sure. BUT security is one of the biggest obstacles to future growth. And while I think the technologies are under way to overcome these security hurdles, such fears are not unfounded.
M-payments are a virtual goldmine of invaluable information for cyber bandits. Names, Social Security numbers, addresses—even bank account information—are all potentially at risk every time you make a purchase.
And you can bet your lunch that cyber criminals have the latest hacking technologies at their disposal.
That’s why airtight, up-to-the-second security solutions are an absolute necessity for every business—big or small—that accepts these so-called point-of-sale payments.
I’ve just hit upon a stock that’s poised to go through the roof as these two explosive technologies—mobile payments and cybersecurity—converge. And I want you to get a slice of the huge profits ahead.
This company has been working to replace cash exchanges (first with electronic check verifications, then credit card authorizations, and now point-of-sale payments) for over 30 years.
Not only are they currently the go-to vendor for SECURE electronic payment systems, but they are also perfectly positioned to expand their reach and rake in a windfall of profits as this massive shift away from cash takes root around the globe.
Just think for a second about the scope of the opportunity we’re talking about here…
Virtually any environment where money changes hands around the world will soon require these point-of-sale technologies. And this powerhouse is the industry leader, with a laser focus on cutting-edge security technologies!
They’ve already installed their devices in 20 million locations in 110 different countries, and have the #1 or #2 market share in most markets. Better still, this technology is only in its infancy stage in terms of global penetration.
PLUS, repair and maintenance, advertising and large-scale customization services have become an additional, increasingly important revenue stream for this juggernaut, growing a whopping 54% last year to account for 20% of revenues in 2011.
An added bonus: The company has recently made several key acquisitions to help drive service revenues to 40% by 2015.
All in all, this stock is an earnings powerhouse with truly eye-popping growth potential. Don’t miss out—get its name now in your FREE report, “Colossal Profits from the Coming Cyber Wars.”
