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.“

Dana, unfortunately a power grid is relatively easy to attack. Remote substations deliberately and simultaneously taken off-line can put enough strain on the system to shut it down.
Security for the “entire grid” would cost a fortune.
It would take that long primarily because the substation large transformers would all be destroyed, thousands of them, and in the whole country there are only about 200 spares inventoried, and no one manufactures them in the US any longer, they all come from overseas.
Everyone who minimizes how this would affect the country needs to read the book, One Second After. There are good reasons why 80-90% of the population will be dead within a year, and good old American grit and ingenuity won’t feed the country when it runs out of food in a couple weeks. Things have changed a lot since the Great Depression. Then 80% of the population lived in rural areas and grew a fair amount of their own food. Today 83% live in major cities and most have no more than a few meals of food in their homes and none grow much more than patio tomatoes. Remember Katrina and so many doing nothing to help themselves, just waiting for the govment to arrive to take care of them.
Trump down not give a c**p about political correctness and kills the snowflakes. He is NOT thinned skin he just returns what he gets.
Read One Second After. Truly frightening.
For the haters, liars and just plain idiots out there, this is for you:
Saw this on a post.
I took this little piece off of another FB post. I hope you like it.
“So, you admire president Obama? Let me show you a few things even though I think you’re too brainwashed to understand:
