The Iberian Blackout was Likely an Attack. Are You Prepared for Chaos?
When officials refuse to answer whether or not it was a cyber attack, it was a cyber attack. And it appears they can take down any grid they want, at any time.
The Iberian blackout of April 28, 2025, which left Spain, Portugal, and parts of southern France in darkness, was no routine power failure. Official statements from grid operators claim it was a technical glitch, but the evidence points to a sophisticated cyberattack, covered up to avoid panic or geopolitical fallout. The swift denial of malicious activity, paired with contradictory official narratives, raises serious doubts. If, against the odds, it wasn’t a cyberattack, it exposes a crumbling infrastructure—an Atlas Shrugged-like collapse of overstressed systems. Either scenario is a stark warning for homesteaders and preparedness advocates to plan for extended power outages that could paralyze modern life. Below, I outline why the blackout is suspicious and provide practical steps for your family to safeguard against future disruptions.
