I was wondering if the doomsday scenario of a "Fire Sale" portrayed in the new Die Hard movie was possible. Anyone know?

Yes
On june 20,2007 the Defense Department took as many as 1,500 computers off line because of a cyber attack.
The Internet architecture needs to be redesign and rebuilt. Security precautions were not built into the structure of the Internet itself.With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), researchers are working together to design a bold new research platform called GENI, the Global Environment for Network Innovations. As envisioned, GENI will allow researchers throughout the country to build and experiment with completely new and different designs and capabilities that will inform the creation of a 21st Century Internet. But this will come to late to stop a fire sale cyber attack. We need a new Internet architecture and we need it now. The government should be spending billions on this project. Because if a fire sale happens trillions of dollars and many lives will be lost. A new Internet architecture should not just be the goal of the U.S. . This should be a joint project of N.A.T.O.

Yes, but not nearly as easy as the movie would like you to think. It would take a combined effort of top notch programers/hackers etc... and some help on the inside. The "Fire Sale" scenario has been around for a long time as a "What if". The actual chance of it happing is slim, however if the country continues in it's downward spiral we could face a New Age Revolution via Tech Wars.

RE:
Can Someone REALLY have a "Fire Sale" type of attack like they did in the new Die Hard movie?

It's one of my personal favorites. It made a fan of Bruce Willis out of me, and it has a GREAT villain in it. I am a sucker for a charismatic, slick bad guy. This one is played deviously wonderfully by Alan Rickman. Lots of swearing and violence in it, in fact one of my all-time favorite movie lines is in Die Hard - ""Yippee-ki-yay, M---ther F----er". It has machine guns, bank robbers, bad FBI agents, good cops, and the whole story takes place in a high rise in LA. It won Oscars for : Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing Stephen Hunter Flick Richard Shorr Best Effects, Visual Effects Richard Edlund Al Di Sarro Brent Boates Thaine Morris Best Film Editing Frank J. Urioste John F. Link Best Sound Don J. Bassman Kevin F. Cleary Richard Overton Al Overton Jr.

In all reality, yes. The movie makes it look like it is the easiest thing in the world to hack a government computer or communications system. I would only hope that it's not. Granted that hackers are constantly trying to crack the code that encrypts a government system.
If someone were to try this, they would be IP tracked and then eaten alive by government lawyers. That or John McClane would drive a car through their house.

With the internet, anything is possible. The same technology that shows the skateboarding dog is the same technology that can get the US involved in Cold War II.

Well, we [Anonymous] have this kind of attack all those year(s) ago, we used it to limiting the restrictions of using internet, 'cause internet is free. In this case some several attacks from us such as;
- Habbo raid
- 4chan raid
- operation chanology
- operation take back/strike back
- operation V.
