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.“
Read more on page two to find out what NSA Director Rogers thinks is the best plan in order to stop any cyberattacks from occurring in the U.S.
Where did you get this$#%&!@* Or, did you just make it up on your own? Good grief! Try to pay better attention to reality.
Mike Pace drink more koolaid so you can’t see what is really happening. Know one is being forced to do anything except the liberal, democrats, and Obama are trying to force our country into a Isalmic State. I wouldn’t worry about what other countries are doing but take a long hard look at what is trying to be done in our country. The President is trying to keep us a free nation without having countries pulling at our pursestrings. We need to get our country strong so we do not have another or a group of people taking us over.
That’s the most stupidest comment in the history of Social Media. Go bury yourself
All part of the plan to bring America to her knees. The elite power whores will do whatever it takes to stay in power.
Dean not all water ! If ya raised on living of the land you know where to find it !!
All the talk about a trillion dollar infrastructure plan and never once have I heard hardening the power grid. I saw a hybrid city bus they think this is what we want but it will be no good if the grid goes down. That should be our first priority.
You are a total idiot. You must write op-eds for CNN.
That is what generators are for.
The grid is highly protected, it is a fact that anything can be hacked
Incredible. We no hacking is a problem, yet nothing is done about it. We know North Korea has been a problem for a long time. Nothing was done, no it’s reached a boiling point. We know Iran has been a problem yet Obama gives them billions of dollars and paves the path for them to get nucs. We know the Southern border is a major security issue, yet we do nothing. At least Trump is trying. We know Islamic terrorism is a major issue, yet Democrat’s fight to get as many as possible into this country as refugees, 90% of which should be in the Army of there home countries. Basically aiding draft dodgers. We have know a while now the electrical grid is vulnerable, yet nothing is done about it. Amazing. What’s really incredible is how many people support government controlled health care when the government has been proven incompetent time and again. There is even a blatant example of government healthcare, the V.A. a total fiasco.
