CYBER ATTACKS DURING  THE WAR ON TERRORISM:  A PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

 http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu/ISTS/counterterrorism/cyber_attacks_during_the_war_on_terrorism_v1.pdf

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This paper should be viewed as a clear warning  to  policymakers  and
security
professionals.  Just as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
defied  what  many
thought possible, cyber attacks could escalate in response to United
States and allied
retaliatory measures against the terrorists responsible for the attack.
This paper examines
case  studies  of  political  conflicts  that  have  led  to  attacks
on  cyber systems, such as the
recent  clashes  between  India  and  Pakistan, Israel and the
Palestinians, and NATO and
Serbia  in  Kosovo, and the tensions between the U.S. and China over the
collision
between a Chinese fighter plane and an American surveillance plane.
More importantly, the paper conducts a predictive  analysis  of  the
potential  sources  of
attacks that could emerge in the wake of U.S. retaliation against the
terrorists, the types of
these  attacks,  and  potential  targets.
