Article 6

CYBER TERRORISM

Apparently in Iran, there is a “Cyber Army” taking out large sites to create terror. In December, if you noticed twitter being offline, these terrorists caused that. Now in China, Baidu, China’s largest search engine was shut down for 4 hours Tuesday. These hackers have also hit Facebook, MySpace, and have threatened Google. These hackers haven’t been tracked, and the only thing known about them is that they are in Iran and are terrorists. Baidu is larger then Google in terms of visits-a-day, probably because China has about 3x as many people than America, and Google isn’t often used if used at all in China. These terrorists are regarded as a threat and have not been found.
