Speaking at the recent International conference of Cybersecury Computer, Shawn Henry, assistant director of the FBI's
cyber division said attacks pose the biggest risk "from a national security
perspective, other than a weapon of mass destruction or a bomb in one
of our major cities. He went on to say terrorist groups aim for an online 9/11,
"inflicting the same kind of damage on our country, on all our
countries, on all our networks, as they did in 2001 by flying planes
into buildings."
At the same conference Deputy U.S. Attorney General Mark Filip talked about how "The cyber infrastructure of the U.S. government is closely linked to the national cyber infrastructure that we all know and use and that infrastructure is largely made up of privately owned networks and even if the government wanted to devise cyber security policies without private input, these policies would have limited reach, and would not reach many of the most critical potential vulnerabilities in the U.S." READ MORE
