It looks like cyberterrorism and a vision of a future 'digital Pearl Harbor'
become trendy again. (One
just needs to read article going around in different newspapers, ... to see
this).
The article on Statistics On Cyber-terrorism.htm was created a while ago and
if one looks at the sources
(I think the graph was originally from CNN which was used to classify
hackers, ...) and at whom wrote it,
one realise that this was more or less nice attempt to jump on the bandwagon
of Cyberattack paranoia, i.e
just another paper many which lacks to distinguish between ' cyber
terrorists ' and cyber criminals, ....
As mentioned before I mentioned that I do not like the term cyberterrorism
(even though it is used
on IWS) as it lacks precision. I rather talk of digital terrorism where one
can distinguish between:
digital-to-digital attacks (e.g. cyber attacks, DDoS, defacements, ...)
physical to digital attacks (e.g. bomb attacks on a bank if they were aimed
at disrupting information infrastructure)
digital-to-physical (can someone come up with a good example? electronic
attacks on safety critical systems, which then
create human and physical casualties)
Contrary to conventional terrorism:
physical-to-physical attacks
Any thought on this?
