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.“

What are they preparing us for? And who can they blame when they transact their foul deed?
A friend up the road had a big herky electrical generator put in his house when it was built. Reminds me of “neighbor envy” when some neighbor had a bomb shelter during the Cuban Missile Crises : /
Sounds like another way to screw taxpayers out of more money.

Warning people about the possibility of an attack on the power grid. OMG! What a monster this guy is. We’ve never had problems the the power grid before. lol Being prepared for a power outage is the same as being prepared for an earthquake or tornado.
Good point. People need to do their research when posting.
