Business Blackout is a joint report by Lloyd’s and the University of Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies that estimates the insurance impacts of a cyber attack on the northeastern US power gird. An improbable, yet technical possible cyber attack damages several key electricity  generators in 15 states including New York City and Washington DC. The total impact to the US economy reaches as high as $1 trillion for the most extreme scenario variant, with an estimate insurance loss of $71.1 billion.
