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.“

So if you are voicing your objections about the months of Trump, I’m sorry… we can’t hear you because you said NOTHING before!!! Keep this going! Copy and share on every liberal response!
What does this rant have to do with the subject of this post? Nothing!
What the hell are you reading?
Gear Up people!
This has been a possibility since the 90’s. Glad THIS administration is going to actually address it!! MAGA! DOING THE HARD STUFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS DOING!
This guy is a moron. Trump’s first trip resulted in 54 Muslim nations signing an Accord to firm a United front against ISIS…ans they are doing it! This guy is an absolute liar. BTW… totally pathetic that our former CIC showed up in Germany for an interview hours before our current President arrived. What kind of a loser does that? Obama is the girlfriend who got dumped and won’t accept it. How embarrassing for Americans…
after 48 hours or so, most of the refrigerated food would be rotten unless you had a gas stove to cook what you could….maybe if some stuff were sealed in canning jars while sterile or dehydrated, you might get a little longer on a limited amount of stuff…
But the gas pumps won’t work without electricity to buy fuel for a generator should you have one, nor will the cash registers at stores work to stock up on food or supplies to preserve your food. And of course you’ll be trapped when you’re vehicle runs empty or the roads are littered with cars that tried to leave and ran out of gas in stop and go gridlock. If you’re fat enough north and it’s late October to early April, and have heat that doesn’t require electric (meaning gravity/convection type natural gas or propane furnaces with no fans or pumps), you’d fare a bit better.
While you can solve many of these problems, there’s a while other set when people get hungry and desperate.
For purposes of this exercise, I’m assuming that cities somehow make it a priority to keep water supplies safe by maintaining fill in water towers to keep pressure differential from allowing contaminants into the water supply, and that they’re capable of waste treatment before returning water to rivers.
Those in large cities will be to busy stealing flat screen tv’s, cell phones and Nikes to even consider their own survival.
