All superpowers collapse eventually. What will cause America to crumble? Many people believe it will be an EMP attack, a major natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or an economic collapse. Any of those may happen, but one of the most overlooked and yet significant threats facing the United States today is the threat of a cyber-attack or all out cyberwarfare. The good news is that you can be prepared for a cyber-attack by learning about the basic steps you need to take right now. The United States of America is extremely vulnerable to cyber warfare. The reason why is because we are completely dependent on electronic information. Your entire life is tied directly to the cyber world. Just think if the following were to happen: -You can no longer access your money in the bank -Your entire savings and checking account gets wiped out -No more heat or running water being supplied to your home -You can no longer refuel your vehicle -The stock market collapses, creating a second Great Depression Each of these calamities and more are what can and will happen if a major cyber-attack ever occurs on the United States. America is also hugely unprepared for a cyber-attack. For those who do not own a generator, there will be no light, no refrigeration, no running water, and no sewage. Think about that. The devices that you rely on everyday will go dark. The banks will no longer function. Looting will envelop America. Law and order will be thrown out the window. Martial law may even be thrown out the window. In this book we are going to over five specific steps on how you can prepare yourself for cyberwarfare. The steps that we will cover are: 1.What is cyberwarfare? 2.How is cyberwarfare a threat to society and the United States? 3.How will cyberwarfare directly impact the life of the average everyday American? 4.Steps You Need To Take To Prepare For A Cyberattack 5.Steps You Need to Take During A Cyberattack By the end of this book, you will understand what a cyber-attack is, why it's a threat, how it affects you, and how you need to prepare for it.
