The recent AT&T network outage, which affected millions of cell phones and access to emergency services across America, would pale in comparison to a cyberattack from China, according to a prominent Republican who warned of an impending attack of the country’s infrastructure.

Americans have become so reliant on cell networks that even a minor disruption could cause untold chaos, as we have already seen with the recent incident.

Not following. China conducts cyber attacks on a daily basis.

Not Apples to Apples comparison, AT&T outage was self inflicted. So they say anyway

Most of the computers, CPUs, hard drives and routers that America IT infrastructure runs on in America are Chinese. What do we think will happen?

on top of that, America’s entire IT profession has been taken over by foreign Indians on H1B visa’s. What do you think will happen?

30 days of water. And non-perishable food. Plus gear like you’re going camping for a month.

And you don’t even need to leave home.

Only twice as bad? That’s not so bad.

Now 1,000,000% worse would bother me and that is no doubt what they are planning.

If they take down all the cell networks, Gen Zers will go berserk.

They won’t be able to GO anywhere, successfully. Without Siri telling them where to go, some can’t hardly cross the street.

customary reference on this topic - See Matt Bracken’s “When the music stops” short story. Written just over a decade ago, it is spot on.

here’s a link and a review: https://theprepperjournal.com/2013/09/05/music-stops-americas-cities-may-explode-violence/

Those H1-b workers would be better off walking across the Mexican or Canadian borders and will never have to worry about visa expiring.

Half will hang themselves in Mommy’s basement, because they couldn’t access social media or TikTok.

Reminds me of an episode on the Outer Limits. They called it “The Stream”.

Way back in 1997. Not too far off. The only difference is that everyone is using their iphones/ipads. But we're not that far off where you can insert a chip into your brain.

All day long, including from US-based offices of Chinese firms. I see the logs daily.

I pay each month to keep my landline. It really cracked me up when everyone with a cell phone that wasn’t working were told to find someone with a landline. I also heard that a landline, old-fashioned and out of date that it may be, is the most reliable phone service and the least likely to be hacked.

I have a cell phone to be used for emergencies or at work if I have to make personal calls. That’s all I use it for. I don’t spend my life obsessing over some stupid YouTube video or a post on FaceBook. I watch college students walking across the campus with their heads down, totally absorbed in some X post.

That supposedly is where they get whatever little knowledge they have about government, history, politics, social issues, etc. How pathetic they are. And they’re being encouraged to vote.
