Now guys look at another attack vertex. How about not attaining such hash power but highjack just a couple of big pools at the same time. Infiltrate and sleep and pick the worse moment, say when the operators are sleep. And fork this thing real hard or block ALL transactions but just mining empties. Granted the miner will switch but it just needs a little time and a couple of discrediting hate articles and boom. Price down hard!

While theoretically possible, I think a massive infiltration wouldn't go unnoticed.
