Achilles' Heel: The Aurora Vulnerability:
A 2007 Department of Homeland Security experimental cyber attack code-named "Aurora" forced this generator to self-destruct. Larger such devices provide virtually all of America's electrical power. Should computer spies penetrate system defenses and destroy substantial numbers of these machines, whole regions would be without power indefinitely until new equipment could be obtained from manufacturers -- the majority of which are located in China. |
