I agree, the average terroris is to stupid to be a hacker and to poor to afford a computer.
The real hackers are the French...

A couple of months ago a key member of Alkajda was caught who was known as an computer technologie expert.
To be an attacker isn't that hard (do i need to supply facts here).
The thing that is being attacked is stability.
Nowadays everything from traffick lights to bank accounts to non-profit is controlled online.
On sept 11 I just came home, turned on my TV set, zapped and came across breaking news.
There had just flown a plain into WTC.
Terrible.
It can happen and news was slow so i turned my on my box.
It just booted when news broke again telling another plain flew into WTC.
This was no coincidence so i started watching the TV set again.
A plain crashed into the grass and one in the pentagon (?).
Being a european i tought hell broke lose.
If this attack would be more coordinated and loads of 'small' things occur (like power supply, railways, phones) chaos would break lose.
As Denial of Service happens distributed most often nowadays people should be aware and secure their box with atleast a firewall and AV, update his frequently but foremost be aware off why these things are nessasary.
We do not like power plants and hover dams being dossed.
