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.“

I don’t think that’s true. You can’t protect from negativity while someone is on Twitter and Facebook.
I have 3 basic problems with this: 1. Why is the grid connected to the Internet? Seems kind of stupid. 2. Why would they trust their power station to Windows, the least secure OS there is? 3. What the hell does this have to do with Trump? Go pontificate somewhere else.
We are good. Bring it!
You are a class a moron. Please do not reproduce!
You’re either an idiot or on drugs. I’m betting both
I bet we still get a bill .
Spoiler alert: an atmospheric EMP detonation is the goal of North Korea, not nuking Seattle or LA.
That’s how it will start if we do nothing to stop them. They feel they have nothing to lose.
Dead on Kenny!!!!
Common sense has to tell us yes it will be very crazy and there would not be enough resources for everyone. People say ill just shoot a deer or some other animal really? with no stores no water pumps and everyone scrambling for food how many animals will be left? think about it. Fema would be totally useless people will take by force if they have to what ever they want and it will happen quick. Oh ya if i show up at your door with gold will you give me your food? Heck no maybe some lead. reality is this really could happen.
I’ll take as many as I can with me. Pow pow
