How Cyber War Could Kill Millions of Americans

Imagine this scenario: You wake up one morning to your cell phone alarm to see that your battery isn't fully charged as normal, but rather still holding onto the last 24% of charge from the previous night. Frustrated that you need to invest in a new charger, you move over to your desktop and turn it on, realizing that it's not working either. At least now you know that it was probably just a breaker that tripped over night, so you check your breaker box, only to discover that everything seems normal. So next to blame is the power company. Luckily your phone is still partially alive, so you try to give a call to the company, but can't connect to any cell towers. What's happening? You pull out your radio to try to listen to the news - once again, nothing. Every station that you normally listen to is all static.
