Story: Hollywood ensures cyberterror myth will Die Hard

I was hoping we might find some middle ground on this issue. People seem to be polarized at either end of the spectrum. I do not believe that cyber terrorism represents a clear and present danger. However, I do believe it is an area that needs to be investigated and monitored. I do not believe that cyber terrorists will have access to techniques and skills to which hackers don't already have access. Therefore, if we are hardened against hackers we are hardened against cyber terrorists.

Is cyber terrorism hyped? Absolutely! But just because a threat is exaggerated, doesn't mean it's not a threat. Also, just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it won't.
