LIGHTS OUT - A Cyberattack . . . by TED KOPPEL (Hardcover)

Description: SURVIVING A CRIPPLING CYBER-ATTACK ON THE NATION'S POWER GRID THIS IS A SCARY BOOK - NOT A BEDSIDE BOOK FOR RELAXING AT THE END OF THE DAY. Nevertheless, it needs to be read - and heeded. Written by one of America's most respected investigative journalists, it describes how a major cyber-attack on the nation's power grid is not only possible but also likely. Such an attack, explains veteran TV anchor and journalist Ted Koppel, would be devastating. WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED IN RECENT TIMES, THE CRIPPLING IMPACT OF NATURAL DISASTERS on the lives of millions. But computer hacking too has disrupted the everyday activities of many - a manifestation of the hazards facing today's high-tech world. A deliberate attack on the power grid as envisaged by Mr Koppel would leave tens of millions with no running water, no sewage disposal, no refrigeration, no electric light. Banks, office buildings, schools, newspapers, hospitals - all the routine things we depend upon would be shut down. Widespread looting would be inevitable. IT IS A GRIM PROSPECT - BUT IT IS BETTER TO KNOW OF THESE PROBLEMS IN ADVANCE. Some people are starting to prepare by stockpiling essential supplies. Some communities are taking note and getting ready. But is there a national master plan to deal with such a catastrophe? The book we offer is a new First Edition copy of Mr Koppel's ground-breaking report. It is therefore quite unblemished except for a small remainder mark (see picture above) placed on the bottom page end by a previous retailer for a stock reduction sale. It also has a faint mark on the front page ends. In addition to an index, the book provides detailed chapter notes.
