I agree. Never underestimate power of a fringe lunatic group to cause harm. Now, I am going to go out on a thin limb and ask the following: When Experts say, "don't dismiss cyberattack warning," what can somebody like me (just a regular user) or for that matter others with several degrees of better knowledge in the workings of cyber networks than I, do to stop cyber attacks from happening? -raj kulkarni ================================
Most Muslims are not Arab, or living in caves. There are certainly millions of Muslim computer users, by now. In fact, I'd bet there are more than a million Muslim computer users in the US alone.
Most Muslims, thank God, are not murderous fanatics or computer abusers. But it would be quite foolish to underestimate the capability of any large group, sufficiently motivated, to inflict massive damage.
