Prepping For Tomorrow #3
Cyber Warfare
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
~ Albert Einstein
No bombs. No bullets. No swordfights. Just a few keystrokes on the computer. And we're done.
In poll after poll, one of the threats facing our nation is the use of a cyber attack to cause a grid down scenario. There are many bad actors on the international stage capable of cyber terror on a massive scale. The list is long, including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria and now even terrorist groups like ISIS. Each is capable of wreaking havoc in the US by shutting down our power grid and enjoying the resulting chaos.
No bombs. No bullets. No swordfights. Just a few keystrokes on the computer. And we're done.
Cyber Warfare is a primer on the threats we face as a nation from the bad actors mentioned above. It explores the history of cyber attacks, and discusses the nuances of the terminology. United States, and its allies, have evolved over the past decade in its policies. The problem is attribution is explored as cyber space allows hackers a convenient place to hide.
The all important issue is raised:
When does a cyber attack become an act of war?
After a thorough review of the threat a Cyber War poses for America, in particular the critical infrastructure, Cyber Warfare will provide preparedness solutions. This guide will also help you answer the question:
What if the preppers are right?
ABOUT THE PREPPING FOR TOMORROW SERIES
Freedom Preppers came together in 2011 to share research with others on the subject of prepping. Originally designed as an informational website, FreedomPreppers.com quickly grew in prominence as its articles on preparedness were shared around the web.
The goal of the Prepping for Tomorrow series is twofold. First, provide a detailed analysis of the threats we face as Americans. Second, give new and seasoned preppers alike the opportunity to enhance their preparedness plan with this knowledge.

Aren't you glad you can look this up online? You can check in with family and friends through various social media? Isn't everything easier now that we're in the Internet age? The answer is yes. But it is also frighteningly easy to reach out and 'touch someone'.
Although life in general has become so much more streamlined, we cannot fall into absolute 'trust in the system' and complacency. Does anyone actually realize how many times that institutions, businesses (private & public) and government systems have had hacking attempts against them EACH DAY? Bobby Akart has the figures, the examples, and the preparatory steps that every human being should know and be very aware of. This is not a book to terrify you and keep you awake at night. This is an informative, factual read that is vital to assist with your own personal situational awareness. This is real. This is almost baffling in its complexity as to how vulnerable anyone can be!
But it is also reassuring. It is comforting to read, understand, and implement protective and precautionary steps to protect yourself, your family, and loved ones. In today's day and age, this book is a mandatory read for your own information and attentiveness. Bobby Akart has done all of the initial research and this is the first step. Read it and then decide if it affects you....because its effects will be felt...everywhere.

This book was published in 2015 so it is outdated but carries some basic history and review of the topic of Cyber Warfare and terrorism. Akart is an ardent prepper/survivalist who often over reaches to get this point across. I found it irritating and the book underwhelming if not generally pedestrian. But for some, this will be useful especially as a short intro to the subject of all that's scary about computers, he internet, our enemies and how vulnerable we and our grid are.

Bobby is my prepper guru. He is intelligent, well informed and practical.
