Cyber Attacks During the War on Terrorism - A Predictive Analysis
http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu/ISTS/counterterrorism/cyber_attacks.htm

This report issued by the Institute for Security Technology Studies at
Dartmouth College presents data gathered on potential attacks to the
world electronic infrastructure, with particular attention to the
United States. Interestingly, past attacks have peaked following
important terrorist actions. To date, however, the attacks have not
been well organized nor particularly effective, except against very
specific targets/web sites. This report warns of the potential for far
worse attacks in the future, and the need to secure servers PRIOR to
worm/hacker attacks to minimize their effectiveness. At particular
global risk are the 13 root servers for domain name service (DNS), as
bringing these down could bring the world Internet to a standstill!
