What would happen under the circumstances of a cyberattack targeted towards America? Would people go Mad Max crazy? In Ted Koppel’s book “Lights Out” he explains that if the power grid were to go down due to cyberattack, it would go down for not only days, but for weeks or even months resulting in millions of people dying due to mass starvation.
Recently, National Security Agency (NSA) Director Admiral Michael Rogers warned listeners at a cyber-security conference that the threat isn’t a matter of “if“ it will happen, but “when.“
He used the example in which hackers in Ukraine used the Black Energy cyber-weapon to knock out the lights on more than 200,000 people across the region.
While speaking at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, he warned the audience that this will not be the “last we are going to see of this.“

Another angry old white person. The threat to our grid is real but it’s not because of hacking it’s because our do nothing congress refuses to spend dollars necessary to upgrade it. It is a patchwork of band aid fixes. It will collapse onto itself.
hi Kevin Cockeye O’Cochlain. Yours right, i am angry, but the color of my skin has nothing to do with it. Our political system is broken. Tnhe two party system was designed to keep America going too far to the left or the right. We gave to weather the next four years. In the nean while ther is a strong movement to build a truly independent party. It will be Constitutionally based, conservative yet forward thinking in nature. Americans are fed up with the establishment as is evident with the Trump, and Sanders movements. Better choices need to be given than the two candidates that have emerged, but as i said, its too late for this election. You might want to folliw Drew Nickell . He really researches these vital issues and puts the information in a plain , straight forward and untelligent manner. Blessings my friend
Angel Toro we’ve known for years, that our infrastructures are old. Why haven’t we got a plan B? It is the elite in Washington. #Trump2016
This is why we need trump!!!
Yep
We did not even have a president in the White House. This is a man of Pure Evil pure destruction pure cruelty. People with the Ravens need to impeach this SOB get him out of the White House arrest him. What’s happening is his fault. Probably his doing or his knowing about. America is not safe but we have got to make a change in the White House to start to make America better before it’s too late. And we cannot have that awful awful Hillary Clinton is our president she’s very evil she is just like Obama we have got to put a stop to Obama and Hillary Clinton
Yet I never see local news talking about this. I wonder why?
ya because we dont pay enough for power
