Firesale: USA

September 27th, 2007 by Claude

If you saw Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard), you know what a fire sale is, in terms of a cyber attack.

CNN.com features a video of an AC360 story about the possibility of such an event.  Saying that a prolonged power outtage to 1/3 of the US would be like having 50 hurricanes hit (based on the area affected, I would guess).

It’s great that everything has become so convenient and (inter)netted together that even destroying our infastructure is able to be done with the click of a mouse.
