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.“

Is that like the asteroid that was gonna take out the world last year?

It is a very real possibility, emp from the sun can take out the grid, it took out part of it years ago, we were without power for almost 2 wks go to fb site, loud planet news, stay up to date.
Something Obama should have addressed.
Then get on the ball and fix it fool.
Hmmm, why does this seem like fear mongering? I mean, the threat of war with Russia is pretty much over, Syria wants to talk peace negotiations with us, canada and Mexico are willing to renegotiate NAFTA and the stock market is up like hell. Unless it’s a Muslim terrorist threat I’d say things are looking bright.
