Cyber Warfare Targets Energy: And Nations Could Be Destroyed in Days

I used to work in a chemical factory, and the risks were all around. Basically you had a whole lot of mechanisms to trip circuits when there was a fault. But what happens when you override these controls, and where the system does not trip? Well, it may be possible to overload the circuits, and then cause a virtual melt down in the electrical supply, which can then cause a fire or explosion.

So last week we saw a fire at the Abada noil refinery in Iran. Luckily the fire did not spread and was brought under control:

Although it is difficult to trace the cause of the fire, there are some sources that say that it related to a cyber attack. So could this be the first signs of a new type of warfare? Basically if you were to trip the energy supply for a whole nation, it could cause large scale devistation, and cause them to fall within hours of a large-scale attack.

Not if

It is not “if” … but “when” … cyber warfare will happen, and it is likely to signal (or trigger) the first phases of warfare between two countries. Unfortunately, when the NATO Treaty was signed, there was no such…
