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.“

You don’t need the gov’t to take care of you,you should have food and supplies to take care of yourself and family for an extended period of time,if you don’t…it is time to start!!!
We are most screwed when this happens
Why won’t they just take the damn thing off the computer system?
We shouldn’t be the victims… we should be the aggressor!
You’re an idiot
We have already lost this war.
Power grids are every nations weak point! They tend to be privately operated, under developed and, over worked.
A power outage will separate from those who can stand on their own two feet and those who can’t. All those gun hating animal activist tree lovers won’t know wth to do.
Easy fix, just go back to old school operation, manual monitoring and control…hack free.
This is and has been accurate for years
