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.“

Quit crying Mikie! Did your party lose the election and you feel so sad…boo hoo!
On and on and on…
Jim Mann, something like this will definitely put those people you posted about on blast.
I trust the NSA Chief as much as I trust gas station sushi!!
I drive truck for a living. Once I had to pick up a load at a place that had their computers malfunction. Truck stood in line for 8 hours because no one knows how to fill out a bill of lading by hand anymore. Remember people, if you bought it, a truck brought it.
Electric power infrastructure has been completely neglected for at least 8 years, likely even longer.
I’ll take that bet.
All these years they had time to harden our grid but NOOO they did not.
What a bunch of BS! The election is over, Mike. Your gal lost because she is corrupt. Get over it.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that the power grid is outdated and overburdened.
The same people saying this are refusing to even consider Trump budget and infrastructure bill .
