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.“

Hehe like the memes!
Sorry, the power grid in reality, doesn’t work as some would believe. Think about it as a big series circuit. Break the circuit, terminate the load a fire the generators. This is an ongoing myth. I’ve been in power generation for 35 plus years and this myth has been debunked many times. What do people think happens in black out and brown outs. The grid is isolated
Yeah, because Obama never made us look foolish…
The pile of dead body’s all along my property line will be a good deterrent
Laugh My$#%&!@*Off. Well Pace. Obviously you’re a left libatard Your boy Obumer was a COWARD PUNK That believed in bowing down to every other country like a$#%&!@*wimp Sorry Trump isn’t doing that. At all Obumer believed in giving away everything to other country’s. Sorry Pace President Trump isn’t going to do that. Obumer let other country’s walk all over us. Trump isn’t doing that either. And as far as thin skinned. Well if every attacked you every day for almost 2 years now. Told lies f**e stories just plain made$#%&!@*up every day all day and never once gave you any credit for doing something positive yea I’d be a little thin skinned too$#%&!@*hole and fight back. Now I agree he should chill out on the tweets but this is his style PERIOD So if you don’t like his policies which if you’re a libatard I’m sure you don’t Then to bad. We had to put up with Obumer bull$#%&!@*coward$#%&!@*for 8 years. No a real leader is in office with an American Agenda. For Americans like myself and millions of others
Nooo
Well how about we hardened the powergrigs.
And this pertains to the article how?
This article makes me wonder, if we know it’s going to happen why not stop it? While my family could cope easily with no electricity, indirectly we would suffer like everyone else. Food and water systems would falter, transportation would come to a stop, government services would collapse. Do withhold a couple payments to the U.N. and set up protection for the grid for crying out loud.
Killary cheated and still lost, Trump won and is your president.
Get over it snowflake or get your sorry butt out of our country.
