The Threat Is Real
This Has Already Happened.
To Real Families. In America.
May 2021 — Colonial Pipeline
East Coast Gas Stations Run Dry
A single stolen password shut down the pipeline supplying 45% of East Coast fuel. Gas stations emptied in days. Families filled plastic bags with gasoline.
February 2021 — Oldsmar, Florida
Water Treatment Plant Attacked
An attacker remotely attempted to increase lye in the water supply to 111 times the safe level. A single alert operator stopped it. 15,000 people nearly poisoned.
2024 — Volt Typhoon
Chinese Hackers Inside the U.S. Power Grid
CISA confirmed Chinese state-sponsored hackers had pre-positioned themselves inside U.S. energy infrastructure in preparation for a potential future attack.
February 2024 — Change Healthcare
Prescription Dispensing Nationwide Disrupted
A single cyberattack disrupted pharmacy systems across the U.S. for weeks. Patients with chronic conditions could not fill life-sustaining prescriptions.
You don't need a bunker. You don't need to become a survivalist. You need a realistic, affordable plan that protects your household during the window that matters most: the first 72 hours to 7 days of a major disruption.

Patricia de Hemricourt

Patricia de Hemricourt spent a decade in product marketing roles at cybersecurity companies including Cymulate, Cybersixgill (acquired by Bisight), and Portshift (acquired by Cisco), watching sophisticated threats inch steadily closer to the infrastructure ordinary American families depend on every day.

Living in Israel, where readiness for any contingency is a cultural reflex rather than a choice, transformed that professional knowledge into a personal mission. Protect Your Family from Cyberattacks bridges the gap between what the industry knows and what families can actually do about it.

She is also the author of several children's books, including the One Day You'll Be… series, and a grandmother of four.
