I've added an image I uploaded of the Air Botswana website (which is currently defaced as of September 7, 2010 by a group calling themselves the "Pakistan Cyber Army"). I found the defacement when I was looking up info for a school project earlier (it did give me a bit of a shock). I'm just not sure what its copyright status would be, being defaced, I doubt Air Botswana holds the copyright to it as it currently stands, and the website itself doesn't help much (it says: "Copyright 2010. All Rights Reserved illegally P4Ki5t4n Cyb3r 4rmy [sic]"). If anyone with more knowledge can help, I'd appreciate it.

Having come back here, I've just realised I never signed this message, so here's my (belated) signature. — Life in General (Talk) 15:45, 1 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Definition and Examples

I would like to provide some insight on making the article better. In terms of the definition for cyberterrorism it needs to be simple pointing out the purpose on why it is done. We can say that cyberterrosim is a form of cybercrime by means of using computers, networks, and the Internet to cause destruction and harm for personal objectives^[1]. We can also give an example on how cyberterroism can be done, such as the shutting down of critical infrastructures which may result in serious casualties for those within the infrastructure. Cyberterrosim can be done anywhere in the world since it uses the public Internet and it is considered to be a form of terrorism to further ideas and political objectives.^[2]

"During the Kosovo conflict in 1999, NATO computers were blasted with e-mail bombs [...]" ..."blasted" sounds a bit over the top. I assume this was emails with large attachments or zip files that expanded to a deliberately massive size (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb) ? It's referenced in the following article that states the attack was of limited effect: http://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/nov/05/balkans 5.148.145.34 (talk) 11:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
