Cyber-terrorists have already compromised the U.S. military’s computers and caused blackouts in Brazil, according to tonight’s 60 Minutes. Better stock up on canned goods and flashlight batteries for the next big cyber-attack!

I love the idea that U.S. military personnel would see a random thumb drive sitting around in a public place, and think to themselves, “Huh. I wonder what would happen if I plugged this into my work computer?” What did they think was on those thumb drives? Porn? Warez? Cheat codes?

You can watch the whole scary Cyber-war segment from tonight’s 60 Minutes below. [Thanks, Siczar!]
