Means, Motive, Opportunity

• Means for limited cyber war are easy for any decent sized terrorist group and many individuals

• As the consequences rise, the difficulty also rises, and only state sponsored terrorist groups with specific support can do complex coordinated cyber attacks

• Almost all extreme scenarios are highly unlikely but

  • They could flood a major city for a short time
  • They could take out power for a moderate period
  • They could kill thousands of people here and there
  • They could create problems for the body politic
  • They could increase the cost of lots of things
