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.“

Ever considered the consequences of no more electricity???
Sure am glad i know how to hunt! Good luck millenials
You live in a phantasy world apparently. You haven’t a clue. Underestimate Donald Trump at your own risk moron.
It’s a valid concern because of the grid’s age and because of the relative ease in which it could be brought down.
What does he know that the government is keeping the lid on that’s coming. Are they going to allow a nuke to detonate on U.S. soil for some sinister reason.
Recently, I read a piece talking about the power outage during the eclipse in some town. They were implying that it was a dry run for a much larger blackout. Now, I see this. Interesting?!
And no medicines for those that need it to survive. Many will perish due to the inability to receive their medications after what they have runs out.
I am prepared! And ready for the civil unrest that will follow!
Let the grid fail. I have enough guns/ammo and land to hunt on to provide for my family, and the chutzpah to use deadly force to protect myself and family.
Supper markets don’t stock enough food for long periods of time, the carry fast selling items and keep canned goods on the shelves, but in an emergency most food will be at the warehouse and not in the stores. But do you believe you will have the skills to get what you need and get out? You won’t be alone and those outside will be desperate to get whatever you have! Learning to survive in the wilderness with no modern technology or cooking devices is a lost skill to inner-city people! Army, Navy and Marines are trained for such things…
