This new brand of terrorist is, unfortunately, tech savvy, SSG Norman Lihou. And while this may be "nothing" in the grand scheme, I think more and bigger cyber threats will be coming from these terrorist thugs. So much can be done with cyber ... We need to be on our guard and be able to respond to (or pre-empt) this threat.

I know we have set up things in the military with CYBERCOM and NSA but the US as a whole is ripe for cyber attacks and we continue to push the connected world for the ease of use without considering the vulnerabilities.
