Are you watching Cyber ShockWave? This is a simulated cyber attack on the United States – an unprecedented look at how the government would develop a real-time response to a large-scale cyber crisis affecting much of the United States.

Watch it on CNN which will air the event exclusively as “We Were Warned: Cyber Shockwave” on Saturday, February 20 and Sunday, February 21 at 8:00 PM, 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM ET each night.

Some of the ideas presented in the show are the following:

1. Pulling the plug on the internet to prevent the worm from propagating
2. Pulling the plug on people’s cell phones to stop the propagation
3. Nationalizing the TELCO and Power companies
4. Rationing diesel for gennie’s
5. Activating the National Guard or Army internally in the country
6. Rendition of suspected hackers or attackers in other countries
7. Giving the president the option of unilateral disconnect and nationalizing of companies such as the power and telco companies

Do you agree?
