Cyber terrorism is not simply the use of #cyber for #terrorism. Terrorist groups have long used #cyberspace to communicate, recruit, plan, and provide instruction for operations. « We cannot classify the recent spate of ransomware attacks like those on an Iowa grain cooperative, Kaseya, and JBS as cyber terrorism, despite the U.S. Department of Justice stating it would now treat #ransomware groups with the same level of threat. Despicable and ruthless... sure, but profit drove the perpetrators here - not ideology. » ( Marcus Fowler, previously spent 15 years at the #CIA developing global #cyber operations and technical strategies ) #psychology #threats #informatique
