-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A number of "hackers" have begun calling for and attacking both Arab nation state networks and terrorist related sites. If they begin to meet with some success we can expect a significant response along the lines of the attacks by pro-Palestinian actors during the Israeli-Palestinian Cyber Conflict almost a year ago. As I sit here passing my 28th non-stop hour, the physical terrorism aspect is more than enough to track and deal with. The cyber component is the last thing we need to deal with. It is unfortunately something I believe we will end up seeing, either in relation to the above or in response to any possible future retaliatory actions by the US. - Ben Venzke >* >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Rich Puhek" <rpuhekat_private> >To: <incidentsat_private> >Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 2:45 PM >Subject: Terroristic attacks today > > >> Has anyone seen, or does anyone anticipate any security threats on the >> Internet or Internet-based attacks on any given targets in connection >> with this mornings terroristic attacks on the World Trade Center and the >> Pentagon? >> >> I hadn't considered the possibility, assuming that parties that would >> fly planes into buildings aren't likely to be interested in writing >> viruses.
