[edit] jihad

Why no discussion of the cyber jihad currently being waged? Wiki strikes again. . . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.163.0.43 (talk) 21:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] cyberterrorism definition

"Cyber-terrorism is the leveraging of a target's computers and information technology, particularly via the Internet, to cause physical, real-world harm or severe disruption." This is the listed definition. Should this possibly be broadened? For example, cyberterrorism could also be applicable to, other than physical or severe disruption harm, be connected to perceived danger or threats (psychological effects of terrorism). I am new to the wikipedia community, so please be gentle on me if this seems silly!Dc3tech 18:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Definition

"The basic definition of Cyber-Terrorism... ...subsumed over time to encompass such things as simply defacing a web site or server, or attacking non-critical systems, resulting in the term becoming less useful. There is also a train of thought that says cyberterrorism does not exist and is really a matter of hacking or information warfare. Some disagree with labeling it terrorism proper because of the unlikelihood of the creation of fear of significant physical harm or death in a population using electronic means, considering current attack and protective technologies.

in simple english: someone who destroys countries computer systems"

This doesn't actually define cyberterrorism, so I think this should be moved to another section. Also, the summation at the end beginning with "in simple english..." needs to be corrected for spelling, grammar and accuracy. Loosifur 15:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC

The first paragraph could be a transcript of some of of Regans's propaganda films. I've never read something so condescending in my life. I know I do nothing but suggest improvements86.41.198.183 (talk) 20:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
