Dear Reader, Imagine waking up to find the Internet "offline"... ATMs non-functional and major websites - from Amazon, to Netflix, to your brokerage account - off-limits. It's hard to imagine, but a number of experts are saying it could happen. They say, it's not a matter of IF - but WHEN we could lose the Internet for days - or potentially weeks. Former CIA operative Richard Maybury reports a series of hacks could take down the Internet - and take us back to the "technological equivalent of the mid-1990s." Computer scientist Dan Kaminsky concurs. He told a packed crowd at a Vegas tech conference: "There is no saving the Internet. There is postponing the inevitable for a little longer." And legendary tech pioneer Danny Hillis has warned: "We're setting ourselves up for a kind of disaster like the [one] we had in the financial system." This is an incredible story you're unlikely to hear anywhere else. Recently, another Silicon Valley insider, Christian Olsen, has come forward to make sure Americans are prepared for an "Internet Blackout." If you rely on the Internet in any way... If you make any payments online... access any of your financial or medical records over the web - it's critical you get the details right now. To watch his brief presentation, click here.
