the threat from this new form of war is very real. while it is still currently restrained to intercountry atts, as like russian programmers hacking into US systems, it could very well evolve into cyber-terrorism threatening the common-man's life. attacks do not have to target countries. rogue hackers are free to band regardless of nationality and grab our deposits in banks, and in an extreme case use our cash to buid nukes from info stolen from our govts. let's face it, employed civil service people just ain't as good as the bad guys, aka nerds fighting for for their own good and advantage...the future sure does look grim.----------------pessimist.
