Excerpts:

After the hacking of the Colonial Pipeline shook the country’s fuel supply, the National Guard is preparing for a major cyberattack that shuts down utilities across the United States.

In this month’s two-week training exercise, troops across the New England region practiced tackling large-scale simulated violations across critical infrastructure sectors such as electricity, water, and gas.

In this exercise, a large-scale cyberattack targeted utilities on the west coast and then moved eastward across the country.

As in the actual scenario, the National Guard works with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity and infrastructure security agencies, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, government agencies such as the US Cybercommand, and utility partners in the private sector. And respond to the crisis.

This crisis was a simulation, but such attacks are becoming more and more possible.

A recent series of catastrophic attacks has sent warning signs about the risks that cybersecurity breaches can pose to the country’s infrastructure.

When the Colonial Pipeline was targeted by hackers in May, it had to shut down its entire network, which carries 45% of all fuel to the East Coast, causing a nationwide fuel crisis with rising gas prices.

A few weeks later, the food supply chain was hit when hackers led to a four-day closure of a factory belonging to America’s largest beef supplier, JBS.

After the hacking of the Colonial Pipeline shook the country’s fuel supply, the National Guard is preparing for a major cyberattack that shuts down utilities across the United States.

All those agencies you mentioned, preparing to “battle” cyber attacks?  They are not preparing to defend against an attack, they are planning to carry one out.  They HATE America, they ARE the enemy of the state.

Well we know whats coming, gov here in UK have been preparing for this for a while and a new emergency mobile phone system is being put in place and tested today.
They are leading the sleepwalking to believe that China or Russia is going to attack us and then hey presto we have total societal breakdown and who knows what else after that…

I definitely believe Joe.  First and foremost.  I never understood the logic of putting business infrastructure on line to begin with.  I don’t doubt it that power grid hacking will be one more excuse to lockdown and steal more liberties from the citizens.

When this happens they will tell you it’s some cyber terrorist when in actuality it’s them. They may even say it’s China, that way the public would agree to a war with China. If this is happening in the U.S. it won’t be long before it reaches us here in the UK.

Cyber attacks on infrastructure are fake news disinformation. These are isolated data networks which can not be accessed from the outside. All this garbage is just here to frighten the population into not protesting when their power gets cut off… on purpose.

It all began with that Stuxnet nonsense. That was an Israeli job where one of their agents had to literally gain physical access to the Iranian network. This network was inside a facility that normal people or non-employees would not have access to. Once inside and having access to that separate network, they were able to upload their virus (via USB stick) and cause the damage it did.

The mainstream media spun this in a manner that made it seem some hacker, literally situated outside, was able to gain access and bring down the power grid. That was not true. This means any attempt to switch off the lights in America will be done by some person sitting at the console in a power station and following orders. There will be no cyberattack bringing down power in America, without inside help.
