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.“

F**e news.
They must have a false flag in the works
This is the kind of c**p I hate. This writer either knows very little about electrical grids or is purposely trying to create a panic. A EMP either man made or natural can not wipe out an entire grid. There are way to many things in place to stop it plus the sheer size of a grid means it would take thousands of EMP’s set off in very precise locations to accomplish a total grid failure. Even if you were to take out a power plant another one can be redirected to take over while the first is repaired and rebooted back into the system.
I think the NY grid was hacked a few years ago.
Then take the damn grid off line!
I don’t call it progress when electricity came into homes and businesses there wasn’t any computers much less an internet ! People ran things and essentially still do, so for this to be catastrophic, shows a very poor setup !!
then take the grid back to a mechanical system instead of a computer controlled one
Yikes
Bored though. Fell asleep in chair last nite, woke up about 4 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Slept some late morning though.
We need to get this done but no other President worried about it but now we have one that will!!!!!
