Ted Koppel: “Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath,”

PBS News Hour reports on Ted Koppel's new book, Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation
Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath. In this tour de force of investigative reporting, Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America’s power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the United States is shockingly unprepared. Among other things, Koppel says: "When I spoke to Janet Napolitano just after she left as secretary of homeland security — and she had been on the job for five years — I said to her, what do you think the chances are of a cyber-attack on the power grid? She said very, very high, 80 to 90 percent."
