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.“

They are working try to strengthen the power grid. Pace makers, etc are also electronics. That will also cause many deaths.
How about pulling all of our troops and families out of SK, Japan, and Guam so there won’t be American deaths

Sheila Pearson what do the generators run on? I’ll tell you gasoline/ diesel or propane. When they run out of fuel they will turn off. Most generators fuel supply is only enough for 1 week at best.
