Power Grid Down

Book excerpt: The United States Government Cyber Terrorism Taskforce is taken down with the power grid. Millions of Dollars and Sophisticated surveillance systems and power grid protection measures are no match for a simple elementary method of taking down the American power grid. While cyber surveillance systems monitor the power grid and watch for cracks from crackers around the world, the grid is taken down across the USA all at once without any warning. The simple technique used is not only an embarrassment to the Government but leaves America without power and communications for almost a month. The results of a month without power are both controversial and enlightening.
