Suprisingly FBI had informed that the main threat to the United States has changes. For recent 10 years it was terrorism which was considered as the main danger, now it has changed we have something new - cyberattacks.

FBI director Robert Mueller has stated during the conference about cybersecurity, that today once single and isolated hackers had joined their powers in order to create a real crime sindicate. What is more he claimed that as the result of their activity governmental agencies are "bleeding out" loosing data and money.

New strategy will need new rhetorics - according to Mueller such organisations as Al-Quaeda are very active in the web and FBI started to recognize a new kind of terrorist activity - cyberterrorism.



This change of priorities and a declaration to start fighting in the web seem to go be a bit out-of -reality, especially when we consider the fact, that on of Anonymous attacks victims was FBI website.
