| Title: | Al Qaeda and the Internet: The Danger of “Cyberplanning” - http://www.iwar.org.uk/cyberterror/resources/cyberplanning/al-qaeda.htm |
| Description: | Evidence strongly suggests that terrorists used the Internet to plan their operations for 9/11. Computers seized in Afghanistan reportedly revealed that al Qaeda was collecting intelligence on targets and sending encrypted messages via the Internet. As recently as 16 September 2002, al Qaeda cells operating in America reportedly were using Internet-based phone services to communicate with cells overseas. These incidents indicate that the Internet is being used as a “cyberplanning” tool for terrorists. It provides terrorists with anonymity, command and control resources, and a host of other measures to coordinate and integrate attack options. |

| CYBERTERRORISM - Fact or Fancy? http://www.cs.georgetown.edu/~denning/infosec/pollitt.html This paper discusses the definition of cyberterrorism, its potential, and suggests an approach to the minimization of its’ dangers. The definition of cyberterrorism used in this paper is combines the United States Department of State’s definition of terrorism as politically motivated acts of violence against non-combatants with a definition of cyberspace as the computers, networks, programs and data which make up the information infrastructure. The conclusion is that by limiting the physical capabilities of the information infrastructure, we can limit it potential for physical destruction. Details | Report |
| Cyber Terrorism: Mass Destruction or Mass Disruption? http://www.crime-research.org/library/mi2g.htm Just days after the September 11 terrorist attacks the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation began warning the public that the potential for future attacks exist, and among the threats was that of cyber terrorism. The concept is not a new one, such attacks have been taking place between Palestinian and Israeli groups, and between U.S. and Chinese sources, in response to political conflicts. And now, in light of new terrorism and cyber exclusions in insurance policies, commercial insurance buyers are wondering how to protect themselves from the potential threat of today's "hacktivists" becoming tomorrow's cyber terrorists, and weapons of mass disruption turning into weapons of mass destruction.
