Electrical outages. cyber attacks ?

What's the chances of the power outages and airport problems being cyber attacks.     Is that possible.   I would think so  ?

  • I very much doubt that that the Russian nuclear accident was in any way connected to our power cut, for several reasons.

    Firstly the Russian accident seems to have been a large release of radioactive material, but not a nuclear explosion.

    Secondly, if it was a nuclear detonation, then any EMP caused thereby would be a line of sight effect and could not affect the UK without much more dramatic effects in places nearer to the explosion than us.

    Thirdly it was not at the same time. An EMP event is instantaneous, there is no such thing as a delayed EMP,
