Three months after a Department of Homeland Security intelligence report downplayed the threat of a cyber attack against the U.S. electrical grid, DHS and the FBI began a nationwide program warning of the dangers faced by U.S. utilities from damaging cyber attacks like the recent hacking against Ukraine’s power grid.
The nationwide campaign by DHS and the FBI began March 31 and includes 12 briefings and online webinars for electrical power infrastructure companies and others involved in security, with sessions in eight U.S. cities, including a session next week in Washington.
The unclassified briefings are titled “Ukraine Cyber Attack: Implications for U.S. Stakeholders,” and are based on work with the Ukrainian government in the aftermath of the Dec. 23 cyber attack against the Ukrainian power infrastructure.
“These events represent one of the first known physical impacts to critical infrastructure which resulted from cyber-attack,” the announcement by the DHS Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team read.
When someone like Ted Koppel writes a book like Lights Out…and tells the world he is so worried about the grid going down he is buying freeze dried food for his children…the government better pull its head out of its dead transformer before we all end up living in 1875….overnight.

My response/attitude to fearing man is in the post above: North Korea leader Kim supervises engine test for ICBM: KCNA
The Bible says fearing God is the beginning of wisdom…so that leaves me super intelligent!
There are plenty of uses/judgements already explained in His book involving the sun, moon, and other weather events, all I can do is keep short accounts with Him, prep for all contingencies (including EMP) no matter if it is man or God made. Either way God has he feet up on His desk and what ever happens won’t catch him by surprise…or happen without His permission…but thanks, this was fascinating to watch.
I really don’t need any more motivation to continue my quest for self-sufficiency in all aspects…but the possibility of a space weather EMP has already been on the growing list of threats along with the Mini Me in North Korea, internet terrorists, ISIS, China and or Russia, our own growing number of internal traitors,….and last but not least our idiot leaderless government betraying U.S. either by accident or on purpose.
