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.“

My sentiments exactly!! TY.
Maybe some collusion with Puerto Rico will clear this up.
I have my generator….
This just gives the crazies ideas…..c.
Cool
Without electricity to pump the gas, how will that help? All vehicles with computers won’t run so no food or water.
Why hasn’t this been done when they built the damn thing on a computer system. An over ride would have done the trick. We had power plants ling before computers so why not now. Don’t say what we need you are responsible for our welfare. Government us hoos
What would the NSA know about America’s power grid?
Just stick to the secrets that we will never be alllowed to know.
How about we prepare for the threat instead!!!’
I would be ok with that, everything in my house is spying on me , it would be nice to have some privacy again.
