As alarming as it may sound cyberterrorism is a real threat. How bad of a threat is
cyberterrorism really?
While cyber terrorists main tool is a computer and it is with ease and anonymity that these
cyber terrorists can carry out these attacks. Although for sure cyber-attacks have occurred such
as within the banks and business world also an attack on paypal this proved mostly to be more
disruptive than anything else. Real and dangerous cyberterrorism could include the opening of
dams or even the ability to shut down air traffic control systems. This kind of cyber-attack
would most definitely cause a lot more than disruption to our way of life. Although such a cyber
terrorist act has yet to occur it is indeed a definite possibility today
The question is Just how real is the threat of cyber terrorism?
Additionally, with such a threat hanging over our lives daily how then do we protect ourselves
from such an attack?
Another important question, do we become more vulnerable to these cyberterrorism attacks
due to our ever evolving and improving technology? It does seem that the more computers can
do for us the more vulnerable we become to cyberterrorists.
