Now, to my point in the "cyber-9/11" thread, I should note that I had
said just about the same thing as reported in this article, and based
completely independently from any information in this article (since I
just now learned of its existence!):

JK: "Likewise, a state actor could cause similar disruption. For
example, should China, which clearly is conducting government / military
cyber espionage / cyber reconnaissance attacks against U.S. interests,
decide to militarily attack Taiwan and wanted to distract the U.S. from
possible early intervention, it unquestionably has the resources,
finances, and ability to launch a crippling cyber attack against U.S.
critical infrastructure, possibly including military assets."


I feel obligated to also draw you attention to this post, too:

Enjoy. :-)
