Being that Putin has gone full war as we have seen his 40 mi long convoy heading to Ukraine we know nothing is off the table with this mad man. The powers that be are looking at Putin and are realizing that we may here in America be hit with a Cyber attack. We have already witnessed a Cyber attack on our oil supply. We don't know if our electric power grid would be hit or are oil supply would be hit. Our banking system could be hit.We really don't know. If our power grid was hit it would be devastating. One power grid runs from Canada to Florida. If that was hit people would not be prepared at all to live without electric. Are you prepared?

My pseudo professional opinion is that - yes - its a very real possibility, much more so than physical war.

It's already happened. They don't tell us everything.

I'm prepared that if it happens we'll turn around and make sure there's not a single light bulb burning in Moscow after we're through with them.

I work in tech for a major ISP. Cyber Attacks from Russia are nothing unordinary, it is a constant tug-of-war but hardly publicized. During these events, we have had to tighten our security measures however.

If the Cyber attack is big enough we will all know about it.

Nvidia was hit by an attack a few days ago. Attacks are not a possibility they are a certainty.

I'd say that cyber attacks happen everyday. The professional hackers are always pushing and trying to find an opening for fun while others are working for Russia, China and other not so nice places that hate us.

Russia has been doing attacks for a long time, other countries too. Talk to the IT guys at your office, they can fill you in.
