Reports claiming that the US could be brought down in 15 minutes with an “electronic Pearl Harbor” have had a lot of media coverage in recent times.

Steve Watson of PrisonPlanet.com is reporting that some people think a cyber attack could happen because of the interference with the internet. But a respected blogger and researcher – Evgeny Morozov – says most of the information about cyber attacks come from secret agencies that need to justify their own existence.

After the Cybersecurity Act was introduced last year by Senator John Rockefeller he also made claims about the risk of cyber attacks saying “Would it have been better if we’d have never invented the Internet?”

One such government agency to benefit from Perfect Citizen would be those who take care of nuclear-power plants and the electricity grid, which as you would imagine would be an ideal target from a cyber attack.

According to a report by Siobhan Gorman from WSJ, sensors will be placed on the computer network; any abnormal activity would trigger the system. However, the system would not be monitored at all times

Defense contractor Raytheon Corp. will handle the first phase of the project, reportedly worth $100 million. There are fears that this new surveillance program is seen as an intrusion by the agency, but others believe that it is something needed in a time where cyber threats is a real possibility.
