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.“

What good would that do? People would steal from your garden like nothing if food was short.
Like a boy scout, always be prepared, do not count on the government.
Mike you watch garbage news and listen to the untruthful left. I don’t pity you, you make your own decisions, based on the libral sand castles.
Plus people would be stealing from gardens….. I love how everyone has such simple minded solutions lol
What does Obama’s$#%&!@*crack taste and smell like? You got your head far enough up there to be a scholar in the subject
All that will be gone within the first year. During the Great Depression wildlife was all but completely wiped out and there were far fewer people in the country back then than now
Both Russia and China have been preparing for this since the Clinton administration.
Do you have enough fuel for a year or more?
Our politicians are more interested in phony Trump-Russia investigations than cyber attacks on our power grid. Makes me wonder how smart are the people in Washington?
