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.“

It is the war of the future (which might not be far off) Then the bombs hit!… Most people could not survive such a war… they would have no idea what to do.
……and Congress still not funding AMP hardening of electric grid….personal greed more important.

The younger people have no idea how to do most things needed to survive… without tv, cell phones, and many other electronic devises. plus how will they get food, shelter other things that could be difficult to get. this country would be in chaos.
Our leaders needs to prepare for many things just not protecting the politicians in Washington.. if a person owns land with wood and a direct assess to water they might have a chance to make it for a while.
If they ground it, we won’t lose it…..
Upgrade…..
Called getting back to basics.
Everyone should prepare for a loss like this. Store water plastic containers and food cans so they dont rust. The young will have the best chance of survival, for what I don’t know.
