The science-fiction cyberwar scenario is here. That’s Nitro Zeus. But my concern, the reason I’m talking, is when you shut down a country’s power grid, it doesn’t just pop back up. It’s more like Humpty-Dumpty. And if all the king’s men can’t turn the lights back on, or filter the water for weeks, then lots of people die. And something we can do to others, they can do to us too. Is that something that we should keep quiet? Or should we talk about it? —An NSA employee, speaking through a composite character in Zero Days
