Electromagnetic pulseAn American Presidential candidate has warned that new cyber weapons could bring about a new dark age - and kill 90% of Americans.
John McAfee- an antivirus pioneer known for eccentric views - claims that so-called EMP weapons could bring ‘civilisation to a cold, dark halt’.
EMP weapons have never been used in battle - but in theory would burn out electronics such as computers and mobile phones.
It is not know which countries possess such weapons - although American experts have warned that a primitive ‘EMP’ bomb could be created by detonating a nuclear bomb high in the air, and using it to ‘knock out’ the electricity grid.
McAfee said, ‘Experts agree that an all out cyber attack, beginning with an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack on our electronic infrastructure , would wipe out 90% of the human population of this country within two years of the attack.’
‘Yet our leaders are nearly all ill prepared for this near certain, not-too-distant event.’
