DOES CYBERTERRORISM RELATE TO TERRORIST ORGANIZATION?

     There are instances whereby cyberterrorism is related to terrorist organization. I came across an article on the website which highlighted the findings of former FBI agent Andre McGregor on cyberterrorism.

     McGregor defined cyberterrorism is that the attack has to be claimed by a terrorist organization. In align to that, the cyber attack must include hazardous acts against property, life and safety. Apart from that, the government policy can also be influenced to this unethical act.

     He also mentioned that currently the capable hackers are mostly from Iran. They have very sophisticated and evolving technology to develop their own destructive malware and software and engaging in spear phishing.

     Currently, US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Israel are capable of carrying out a complex and coordinated cyber attack. 

     That does not mean, we in Malaysia, are not able to defeat these attack. With proper solutions and enforcements, we can also mitigate these attacks in our nation.
