Essentially a mass coronal ejection event from the sun that is directed at the earth, potentially knocking out all forms of communication and power transmission facilities.

Starfish Prime taught us what would happen to radio-telecommunications for a while if a nuke was detonated in the ionosphere. Not CIA of course , but DoD and NASA most definitely.
