This article talks about the latest case of "cyberterrorism" - Russia has been the victim of cyberattacks crashing numerous computer systems. During the presidential election, there was controversy over Russia potentially breaching systems to influence the results of the election. It's interesting to see it from this point of view and how it has spread and resulted in global cyberattacks. This article is also a great depiction of our world today and how advanced technology has become and how dependent on it we've become. Countries' security is at risk with hacking and we're seeing a new form of "terror" when our computer systems are affected.
