If you haven't played this online game yet, check out Pandemic 2. The entire point of the game is to create a disease that is capable of wiping humanity off the face of the planet. The best (and basically only) winning strategy is for your virus/bacteria/parasite to quietly pass to all corners of the world, and then violently mutate after you have a large number of carriers infected without knowing they are. So it may not necessarily be an attack. It could very well be some new strain of virus or whatever that infected a large population globally. That's honestly the only way I can explain how it became a global phenomenon and not a localized outbreak.
