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.“

David Swink, hey dumb dumb. Most of the population of the United States are in major cities and you cannot live off the land there. People will be rioting, looting, and stealing everyone else’s food supplies, water, etc. You can only defend yourself from so many people after awhile. It’s the governments, job since we are a democracy and pay tremendous amounts of our salaries so these kinds of thing should be taken care of. Blaming each other or other parties is one of the major problems. Many things have been neglected in our country and states while our leaders get pay raises after pay raises.
Heather Slone, you’re retarded and really need to stop looking on the internet for$#%&!@*like Planet X. Nothing is going to happen since a rogue planet is not heading for ours lol.

We’re ONE solar flare away from the stone age and people will try to convince you that global waring is our fault. Puts that ridiculousness in perspective, doesn’t it? 🙂
