For example; Iran has been trying to get a Cyberwar going against Israel for months now! Prizes have been offered as an enticement for the most daring attacks imaginable, to be made against Israeli websites by Moslem computer-hackers.

Eventually, Cyberwar will arrive at our front-door!

Are we ready for rolling Internet long-period blackouts???

Scrambled bank accounts, no food on grocery selves, loss of cyberspace communications, satellite outages, ...etc.

I would sure like to think we are, but we are not!

I think those of us in the non Moslem world have enough problems with religious zealots, this well illustrates zealotrity run amuck. Shades of the next form of terrorist attacks?

Thanks Robert, noted

you are correct! I went crazy when my monitor went and I was without the Internet for 2 months.I also am handicapped and use it to have my groceries delivered.Believe it or not it is cheaper to pay 12.95 for the Acme to deliver fresh fruits and veggies once a month.I just freeze them,jar them and eat them.Thank you for keeping me up to date on the news.Even if I don't comment,I do read your articles.It helps keep my mind alert even though my body isn't.THANKS AGAIN

Thank you for sharing Robert, noted. Yes, this is the "coming to an area near you" nightmare which can be performed from anywhere in the world and can be very hard to trace back, and servers can be located in unfriendly countries, etc.... almost all systems; lights, water, etc are on open lines (internet accessible) , therefore exposed to this type of attack.

Noted. I hope there are enough "good" and "wise" computer-nerds on the good side to develope an anti-attack program for protection against these sort of cyberspace-attacks.
Thanks Robert.
