The second paragraph undermines the whole article, as such statements tend to do in all articles warning of cyber or terrorist attacks, just as any number of 'stories' citing some new DHS or FBI terror threat that suddenly hits the airwaves periodically during the year.
This entire article simply says -er, repeats- that "terrorists may consider cyber attacks." Yeah. We know that already, and have known about it for quite a while, too. Dare I raise the question "so what's new about that?"
The Hill hearings this week and the resulting stories about cyberwar and cybersecurity, and the advice contained in a recent GAO report about ideas to improve security are nothing more than the newest folks in DC pontificating publicly about the SAME stuff we've been hearing for 10,
15+ years. The only thing that's improved during this time is this
town's ability to spin its wheels while doing nothing to address the problem it claims to worry so much about.
Le mal sigh. :(
