Besides spun-up news stories and DNS denial of service attacks on internet servers, two giant info/electronic warfare threats these days: a crippling cyber attack on supervisory communication and data acquisition (SCADA)systems that run power grids, pipelines, water/sewer systems, Bank ATM/POS terminals, etc. etc.

…and the ultimo crippler the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack which takes out unprotected electronics equipment through a blast of Radio Frequency (RF) waves by a bomb detonated in the upper atmosphere. Imagine that your water pump and refrigerator are fried…oh did I forget about your PC, TV, and internet…poof!
