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.“

This guy still hasn’t seen what a self serving patronizer of dumbbells Barack Obama is?
This whole idea, while being a real possibility and a very scary one at that, should be serious enough to do something substantial about regardless of opposition from environmentalists or anyone else! We need to increase capacity and we should have a secondary system of equal capacity in case of emergency. National security issue of vital importance. It’s annoying to hear these guys talk about how inevitable and serious the notion is yet just not be doing anything about it.
This has gone on for a long time by our power companies and from our own government so what else is new
Haven’t seen Trump crying yet , can you say that about the Kenyan or the criminal wife of a sexual predator that was impeached for it.lmao
The grid is highly protected, Kent Landholm cyber security is only one aspect , ask anyone that works for Edison or any lineman how easy it would be to knock out electricity to any major city in America. Easy peasy.
It would sort out the liberals from the conservatives quickly, we have the firearms and the ammo , most of the vets and active duty, we hunt & fish , we are way more independent, they rely on the government and the democrats own every ghetto in America and every failed city. Plus their veggy diet wouldn’t last more than two days.
Well put.
That’s because you’re topic ignorant, you wouldn’t have water either.
Exactly, I was thinking the same thing.
What a joke.
