“Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) delivered the evening keynote during the SC Congress in mid-town Manhattan yesterday, as the member of the House Committee on Homeland Security told the audience that the US electric grid remains vulnerable to a near-certain cyber attack.

The Congresswoman from New York’s 11th legislative district, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn, said that our electrical grid is ‘what distinguishes our nation as an advanced, modern civil society’. She subsequently warned of the all-too-familiar dangers that could potentially devastate the nation’s power supply. “
