Acts of cyber-terror will come from the same sources that terror comes from now. It will be those who are struggling against the losses of freedom, privacy, autonomy, etc. who lack the resources to struggle in conventional ways and who will resort to whatever methods are available to them in asymmetrical wars. Ironically, increasing reliance on vulnerable technologies will make cyber attacks increasingly attractive to the relatively powerless. - Benhamin Ben-Baruch, senior market intelligence consultant and applied sociologist, Aquent, General Motors, Eastern Michigan University; internet user since 1980
