Die Absenz von Cyberterror-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- deren Bekämpfung Millionen Dollar ausgegeben werden, geblieben sind, stellt dieser Artikel aus dem Industry Standard, der zur Lektüre im Volltext ausdrücklich empfohlen wird. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Millions of tax dollars are spent each year to combat cyberterrorism. But where are the perpetrators? On Feb. 4, 1999, FBI director Louis Freeh went before the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State, and testified that since the 1993 World Trade Center bombing "no significant act of foreign-directed terrorism has occurred on American soil. "The frequency of terrorist incidents in the United States has decreased in number," claimed Freeh. In fact, Freeh stated, the main threat of terrorist activity is abortion-clinic bombings and right-wing militias who may gain access to weapons of mass destruction. Not once in his testimony did Freeh mention any specific cyber-terrorism threat, planned or carried out. Freeh then asked for $36.7 million for the Technology and Cyber Crimes initiative, and another $13 million for the National Infrastructure Protection Center, or NIPC. How come? For that matter, what happened to the "electronic Pearl Harbor" that Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.) promised us in 1999, when he said it was not a matter of if but when we would be the targets of massive Internet-based attacks? Or the "foreign infiltrators" into U.S. Y2K projects that NIPC head Michael Vatis warned of in 1999? These potential cyber terrorists, Vatis claimed, would place dangerous Trojan horses and malicious code into the systems they were hired to fix. The infrastructure of the United States, he warned, could be at risk.
