When Flash Mobs go bad
Think about this as you go through your routine today. How many automated digital tools do you rely on? Did you get money? Use an ATM card to buy coffee or lunch? Try to pay for gas with a credit card? Imagine if all these got jammed for a day or so. This kind of threat is totally logical, but do we ever think about it?
Estonia's 1.4 million people are among the most wired populations in the world, so for several days, ordinary people were unable to pump gas, buy bread, or pay their bills because of a nationalistic dispute with another country. And remember, this was just a small attack, a taste of what's to come.Source: reviews.cnet.com
