It is not only possible, but it has already happened.Ī ‘fire sale’ is a three-stage cyber attack on a country’s computer infrastructure, shutting down all transportation systems such as traffic lights, railway, subway and airport systems, then disabling financial systems – stock exchanges, banks and finance houses - and then turning off public utility systems, such as electricity, gas, satellite and telecommunications. Anyone questioning the possibility that a cybercrime such as the one featured in the popular movie Die Hard 4 is in for a rude awakening.
