Terrorism Moves Onto The Web
Just 45 minutes ago it was announced that the world should be on alert against a cyber attack by Al Qaida. You can read the full article here.
In this article, it was stated that Al Qaida was targeting banks and stock exchanges for cyber attacks in response to the holding of prisoners in Guantanamo. Extra caution was urged world wide.
Sad isn't it that we are vulnerable to terrorism on a wide scale even on the Web. With so many people banking, trading stocks, managing portfolios, or even just looking at their checking account balance access to our financial information is now vulnerable to these radicals too.
Thank goodness for computer security experts and backups and file restoring services, but the disruption if an attack was to be carried out successfully would be initially very problematic. But the big point is that nothing is safe any more from Al Qaeda's diabolical schemes. We'll wait to see what happens tomorrow, but Friday was to have been the big day for the attack. We'll see!
