“Risk management analysts, equally edgy, are focusing on the financial impact on businesses and economies. They believe that an online attack would undermine public confidence in vital industries, especially utilities. Nick Robson, a partner at JLT Risk Solutions, says: “A cyber attack on, say, the power industry would cause communications operations to close down for a period of time, expose customers to loss of service, increase liability exposure and ultimately damage reputation for service delivery.”
In short they are predicting terrorists will launch concerted infrastructure attacks. I am not surprised.
