Welcome to the new battlefield where technology becomes the method of attack. This sci-fi scenario is the future and inevitably the deaths of human beings is a potential possibility as interference with computer-driven hardware that impacts critical emergency operations or basic human services that crash can likely end up killing people. Hospital machines, critical medical diagnoses, transportation systems and signals, communications, energy systems that power elevators and security systems protecting us from dangerous materials. Unfortunately, the tech-terrorists are a relatively new major players whose identities are hidden behind computer screens. The actual identities are clouded and make direct attacks on the real criminals difficult. Counter measures and attack responses must ensure that it is the actual perpetrators not the innocent that are held responsible or an accidental war of terrible consequence might be the result.
