Cyber Terrorism: the new craze

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

It's all I'm hearing in the news today.

At the rollover, it was "terrorism" every two minutes. Now, the new buzz word is "cyber-terrorism." Our enemies apparently can destroy our whole power grid whenever they want, with just a few well-placed key strokes. News to me.

What about it guys. Are you being cyber-terrorized?
