HSM.305 Week 3 Discussion 2 Psychological Effects of a Cyberattack: Based on your knowledge, experiences, and the readings, explain what psychological effects a cyberterrorism attack against the U.S. banking system would have on the U.S. economy.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Cyberterrorism vs. Physical Terrorism

Introduction

Terrorists have always sought to frighten people with terrifying tactics from bombings to kidnappings. But as terrorism has evolved, so have the methods used by terror groups and criminals alike. Today, we see terrorists using a wide range of weapons and tactics that can be just as damaging as an explosion or shooting in terms of their ability to cause harm to civilians. In this article, I’ll explain what cyberterrorism is, why it’s important for us all to understand it better and how it differs from physical terrorism.

Cyberterrorism is a relatively new and poorly understood phenomenon.

Cyberterrorism is a relatively new phenomenon, and it’s poorly understood. While cybercrime has been around for decades, cyberterrorism was only recognized as a distinct threat in the 1990s. This makes sense: before that time, there were no laws against hacking or computer crimes it was assumed that if you didn’t get caught doing something illegal online (like hacking someone else’s account), then you weren’t really doing anything wrong at all.

But now that we have laws against hacking and other online crimes like identity theft and child pornography (which most people agree are bad), we’re starting to understand how dangerous this type of online activity can be. Cyberterrorism isn’t just about stealing personal information; it could also mean destroying critical infrastructure like power plants or water treatment facilities by sending malware through their networks or even launching actual attacks on cities using cyber weapons like Stuxnet!

Definitions of cyberterrorism vary.

Cyberterrorism is a relatively new and poorly understood phenomenon. There is no consensus on what cyberterrorism is, nor do most people agree on how to define it.

Some scholars argue that cyberterrorism can be defined as an act of terrorism carried out through the Internet or other digital mediums. Others argue that all acts of politically motivated violence committed by individuals or groups, whether physical or virtual, should be included under this umbrella term.

Cybercriminals have been known to hack into computer systems and steal personal information from these systems for their own gain; however they are not considered terrorists because they do not directly harm individuals or communities in any way whatsoever during their crimes (such as breaking into someone’s bank account).

Cyberterrorism and cybercrime are not the same thing.

Cyberterrorism is the use of computer networks to cause physical damage, while cybercrime is simply the use of computer networks for purposes other than terrorism. The distinction is important because it allows us to classify both types of attacks in a way that makes sense and helps us understand their differences.

The first difference between cyberterrorism and cybercrime is that cyberterrorism has been around since at least 1988 when an influential hacker called Kevin Mitnick hacked into his own phone line in order to access his bank account information (a practice he called “phreaking”). It wasn’t until 1994 when this same man was arrested by federal agents who found him hacking into some government computers; he was charged with electronic crimes against computers related directly back then through those two previous occurrences!

Just because no lives are lost does not mean an act is not terrorism.

Although cyberterrorism may not cause physical harm, it can still be considered a form of terrorism. This is because cyberterrorism can be used to cause psychological damage and economic damage.

Cyberterrorism also causes social and environmental damage; for example, malware that seeks out political activists or religious groups on the internet could lead to their demise.

Cyberterrorism is also a form of state-sponsored terrorism, as many countries have the resources and technology to carry out attacks. The United States has been accused of cyberterrorism in recent years; for example, it was widely reported that the US used a virus called Stuxnet against Iran’s nuclear program.

Physical terrorism is what most people think of when they visualize terrorism.

Physical terrorism is what most people think of when they visualize terrorism. It’s the threat to human life and property, typically carried out by a single person or small group with no ties to an organization. This type of attack can be carried out by an individual with access to bomb-making materials and/or explosives, but it’s unlikely that you’ll see any kind of sophisticated tactics used in this case the goal is simply to kill as many people as possible at once.

This type of attack has been around for centuries; look back only 100 years ago, for example, and we saw several major attacks on European cities during World War 1 (the Siege of Paris). But physical terrorism hasn’t really changed much over time: today’s methods include suicide bombers and car bombs instead of guns or bombs made from artillery shells like those seen during World War 1; these days you usually hear about some sorta crazy dude strapped into his car filled with explosives making his way into downtown New York City then blowing up everything within sight before running off into hiding somewhere else nearby because he didn’t want anyone else getting hurt too bad if things went wrong while driving around town looking for somewhere safe where nobody would find him first…

Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRA and Boko Haram.

There are many terrorist groups and organizations that have been known to commit cyberterrorism. These include Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRA and Boko Haram. They all share a common goal: the destruction of Western society through physical attacks or violence against civilians. This can be done by launching cyberattacks on government systems or infrastructure (like power grids), or even causing financial damage through hacking into bank accounts. However, all these groups have one thing in common: they want to change how we live our lives by imposing their own values on us and that’s where you come in!

The rise of ISIS has brought new methods of terror to the world.

The rise of ISIS has brought new methods of terror to the world.

Social media has played an important role in recruiting new members for ISIS, spreading propaganda and fear, as well as spreading misinformation. It’s no secret that social media can be used in many ways by groups with different agendas. For example, a small group may use it as a platform for recruiting new members while another uses it as a way to spread their message or organize protests against certain policies or laws (such as those regarding abortion).

Terrorist groups have used a variety of weapons to achieve their goals.

• Explosives. The use of explosives is a common terrorist tactic, and terrorists have used just about every type of explosive available to them:

• Explosives like C-4 (an extremely powerful plastic explosive), dynamite, pipe bombs and homemade bombs. Many terrorist groups also specialize in using vehicle-borne IEDs (improvised explosive devices).

• Bombs and suicide bombers. Another common method of attack by terrorists is by using explosive devices that contain shrapnel or metal fragments designed to inflict maximum damage on human targets when they explode. Suicide bombers are also commonly used by groups such as Al Qaeda and ISIS as part of their strategy for carrying out attacks against civilian populations located near military bases or other sensitive locations where large numbers could be killed if an explosion occurred nearby.* Automatic weapons, rifles, handguns and grenades; vehicles/cars; aircraft/helicopters/drones; ships/boats etc., all have been used during conflicts around the world since at least World War II when British paratroopers were dropped behind enemy lines onto German beaches during D-Day landings in Normandy France during June 1944.* Chemical & Biological Weapons are still widely feared today due mainly because there hasn’t been any successful test yet but luckily for us humans we’re not going anywhere anytime soon either way so let’s hope our politicians take this threat seriously enough so we don’t end up like those poor souls who survived Chernobyl nuclear disaster years ago!

Cyberterrorism and physical terrorism are not identical in terms of their threat level.

The threat level of cyberterrorism is lower than that of physical terrorism. While both are capable of causing death and destruction, cyberterrorism is less likely to result in loss of life.

Additionally, there are several additional differences between the two types of terrorism. For instance:

• Cyberterrorism can be used as a form of protest against an existing government or political system (e.g., Anonymous), whereas physical terrorism tends to be more focused on hatred towards specific individuals rather than an entire group or society at large (e..g., Timothy McVeigh’s Oklahoma City bombing).

• Cyberterrorists may also target civilians rather than military personnel; however this does not mean they’re less effective as killers because their targets have no chance at defending themselves against these attacks which makes them even more dangerous!

Conclusion

As we have seen, cyberterrorism and physical terrorism are not identical. There are many ways in which cyberattacks can be used to harm society and cause damage. While these attacks do not involve death or injury of human beings, they may cause significant disruption to our digital infrastructure. However, physical bombings are still a common fear for many people if they think about how terrorist groups could use explosives against them at home or work.
