Employing the anonymity and global reach of the Internet for their own personal gain, terrorists attack the U.S. information infrastructure in attempts to steal money, identities and classified data. Cyber terrorists use the Internet as a recruiting tool to find like-minded extremists and attempt to hack their way into corporate and government networks.
“Convicted terrorist Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the (first) World Trade Center bombing, stored detailed plans to destroy the United States’ airliners on encrypted files on his laptop computer.”
-- Louis Freeh, former FBI Director, 2000
“The same technique that a hacker would use, the same technology, will be utilized by somebody with a different political motivation…The problem we’re all facing is a global borderless problem, where attacks can occur anywhere in the world and originate from anywhere else in the world.”
-- Michael Alcorn, Branch Chief of the U.S.
