No bombs. No bullets. No swordfights. Just a few keystrokes on the computer. And we're done.
From bestselling author Bobby Akart, his analysis of the threats we face in CYBER WARFARE has captured the attention of thousands.
In poll after poll, one of the threats facing our nation is the use of a cyber attack to cause a grid down scenario. There are many bad actors on the international stage capable of cyber terror on a massive scale. The list is long, including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria and now even terrorist groups like ISIS. Each is capable of wreaking havoc in the US by shutting down our power grid and enjoying the resulting chaos.
Cyber Warfare is a primer on the threats we face as a nation from the bad actors mentioned above. It explores the history of cyber attacks, and discusses the nuances of the terminology. The policies of the United States, and its allies, have evolved over the past decade. The problem of attribution is explored as cyber space allows hackers a convenient place to hide.
The all important issue is raised:
When does a cyber attack become an act of war?
After a thorough review of the threat a Cyber War poses for America, in particular on the nation's critical infrastructure, Cyber Warfare will provide preparedness solutions. This guide will also help you answer the question:
What if the preppers are right?

ABOUT CYBER WARFARE and THE PREPPING FOR TOMORROW SERIES
Because you never know when the day before --
is the day before.
Prepare for tomorrow!
What if the preppers are right?
The media shapes public opinion in all formats including news, cinema and television shows. It should come as no surprise that everyone doesn't necessarily form an opinion on every subject. Nor should you be shocked to hear that most opinions are uninformed. We can all give countless examples of this. Most Americans are sheeple, unable to think for themselves. They are content to follow, and many are too lazy to do the minimal research required to have an informed opinion. Their reliance on government or media sources for information makes them susceptible to manipulation. It's simply easier to be a sheeple.
As a student of the preparedness lifestyle, I cringe at the media's portrayal of preppers. Initially, the brunt of the ridicule was directed at survivalists. But with the success of National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers, the concept of being a prepper hit the mainstream. Now Preppers are the target of the media's derision. I have my opinion as to why that is the case, and it has its basis in politics. It is my opinion that the media is largely left-leaning and, as a result, does not embrace the self-sufficient lifestyle that is prepping. So, if you can't join them, beat them down--repeatedly. As a recent example, consider the media's dismantling of the Tea Party movement. I see similar attacks on preppers.
But, what if the Preppers are right?
What if?
CYBER ATTACK
Simply put, a Cyber Attack is a deliberate exploitation of computer systems. Cyber Attacks are used to gain access to information but can also be used to alter computer code, insert malware or take over the operations of a computer driven network.
Why would terrorists bother with an elaborate, dangerous physical operation--complete with all the recon and planning of a black ops mission--when they could achieve the same effect from the comfort of their home? An effective cyber attack could, if cleverly designed, produce a great deal of physical damage very quickly, and interconnections in digital operations would mean such an attack could bypass fail safes in the physical infrastructure that stop cascading failures.
One string of 1s and 0s could have a significant impact. If a computer hacker could command all the circuit breakers in a utility to open, the system will be overloaded. Power utility personnel sitting in the control room could do it. A proficient cyber-terrorist can do it as well. In fact, smart-grid technologies are more susceptible to common computer failures. New features added to make the system easily manageable might render it more vulnerable.
In poll after poll, one of the threats concerning preppers is the use of a cyber attack to cause a grid down scenario. There are many bad actors on the international stage. Each is capable of wreaking havoc in the US by shutting down our power grid and enjoying the resulting chaos.
