[quote:Anonymous Coward 80531330:MV80ODI2MDE0Xzg4MDk3OTExXzM5MEVFRDE0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 80533139:MV80ODI2MDE0Xzg4MDk3ODI4XzZBM0Q2QzQ0] My home is off grid so I’ll be fine. But maybe a 6 month nationwide black out would finally wake up the imbecile masses. Actually they’d prolly walk around uttering orange man bad. [/quote] 6 months without grid would produce widespread death and confusion. Look a bit deeper... Everything runs on the gird.. including gas pumps...and well more. no food delivery.. and all that. that is why I requested a global red pin.. because people are stupid. my insulin would not come.. and I could not refigerate it.. just one tiny issue. Image no grid for months in the cold winter.. some folks here think the vaccine is going to depopulate.. no trid for 6 months would get that done fast. [/quote]

The National Guard has been preparing for a major cyber attack that would bring down utilities across the US, after the hack of the Colonial Pipeline brought the nation's fuel supply to its knees.
Troops from across the New England region practiced tackling a massive simulated breach across critical infrastructure sectors including power, water and gas during a two-week training exercise this month.
The exercise involved a situation where a huge cyber attack targeted utilities on the West Coast before moving east across the country.
Much like in a real-life scenario, National Guardsmen worked alongside government agencies - including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and US Cyber Command - as well as private sector utility partners to respond to the crisis.
