US Not Prepared for Grid Terror

The federal government is not prepared to deal with a cyberattack that cripples the power grid, Ted Koppel warns in his new book, “Lights Out.”

“The current secretary of homeland security is sure that a plan to deal with the aftermath of a cyberattack on the grid exists, but he doesn’t know any details of the plan,” Koppel writes. “As of this writing, there is no specific plan.”

Koppel also states, “It would be comforting to report that those agencies charged with responding to disaster are adequately prepared to deal with the consequences of a cyberattack on on the grid. They are not.”
