Washington

able
to move more than 200,000 troops, 1,100 aircraft and dozens of warships

Are
We Vulnerable to Cyber-Attacks?
Washington
(FORTUNE.COM) -- With war on Iraq underway, the possibility of a
terrorist
response is on all of our minds. In addition to the other things
we
have to worry about, this is likely to be the first major war that takes
place
with the entire world linked together by one continuous set of
electronic
signals. That creates immense dangers of war-related hacking and
cyber-terrorism.
