hedda I described in my thread of how my local supermarket had to close because of the computer hitch yesterday..I had no idea why at the time.

Apparently dozens of supermarkets and shops and petrol stations shut down as well.

So a concerted cyber attack could cut off food, fuel supplies along with everything else run via computers..banks hospitals which is everything!

very scary
