December 14, 2007:
There are many kinds of
terrorists out and about, and not all of them are fixated on the kind of
tactics that are constantly reported in the media. Some Animal Rights
Extremists have been attacking people they dislike indirectly, by using the
Internet to initiate attacks on their elderly relatives. It's pretty easy if
you persist in opposing them, they'll do stuff like post your parents' social
security numbers, and other vital information on websites run by cyberthieves.
Apparently terrorists of all sorts keep in touch,
because these Animal Rights terrorist
tactics are now being discussed on Islamic terrorist websites. Western
counter-terrorism organizations are scrambling to find a way to counter these
new methods. Many Islamic terrorists have been caught funding their operations
via Internet crime, so they are already familiar with identity theft, and how
to find things on the Internet. The web-based Islamic terrorists are apparently
planning to harass the families of military personnel, police, and so on. Or
worse.
