Just imagine what a state-level actor is cable of doing to a countries health care / power / transportation infrastructures when damage is the goal instead of money.
- Dunedan 6y agoA book painting such a picture is "Black Out" by Marc Elsberg ([1], [2]). I can wholeheartedly recommend it, as it points a pretty scary, yet plausible scenario and is a proper thriller as well. Its plot takes mainly place in Germany, so it's written with a Europe-centric view and I'm not sure how well that translates to the US. However when looking at the brittle electric grid in parts of the US, I believe such attacks could be even worse there.
