Thanks to 9/11, we are all painfully aware of most of the tactics used by terrorists. Shoe bombs, underwear bombs, I.E.D's, remote-controlled bombs, car and truck bombs, and God only knows what else. Most people with experience in dealing with these matters will tell you that there is no real defense against terrorism. The reason is quite simple. You can't fight what you can't see. The terrorists main weapon is anonymity, blending in with everyone else. This is one of the main tactics used against our warriors in Iraq and Afghanistan which accounts for almost all our KIA's and wounded. (and the PC'ized "rules of engagement" account for the rest) It is in fact, a tactic learned from the Viet Cong.
But what happens when that terrorists weapon is, your computer? What the linked story is showing us is the new face of terrorism. No loud explosions. No blood. No gunfire. But make no mistake, the casualties are just as real. In fact, there are experts who are saying this type of terrorism can do a lot more damage than exploding bombs...
