"Black Energy" attack on the USA eminent
NSA Chief Warns Black Energy Attack On U.S. Power Grid A 'Matter Of When, Not If' - Lights Out Scenario Not A Myth But A Coming Reality
On March 1, 2016, Admiral Michael S. Rogers, U.S. Navy, Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, Director, National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service, was a keynote speaker, one of many the Obama administration rolled out at the 2016 RSA Conference, in order to push for more cooperation by the tech industry with government agencies, but Rogers' warnings and predictions should be enough to convince even the most skeptical among us that a "lights out" scenario as well as a massive cyber attack on financial institutions, is not a "conspiracy" or "doom and gloom," but is an eventuality.
The warnings and predictions Rogers makes comes from having access to the most detailed information available, and he states clearly that it is "only a matter of the when, not the if, you are going to see a nation state, a group or actor engage in destructive behavior against critical infrastructure in the United States."
Rogers continues on to reference the December 23, 2015 event in Ukraine where an actor penetrated the Ukraine power grid and took large segments of it offline. http://allnewspipeline.com/NSA_Chief_Warns_Black_Energy_Weapon.php

Did a group, who plans to attack the USA, already attack targets in the Ukraine to create more tension between the USA and Russia? At any rate, Russia and the USA appear to be sharing the same threat.
