The fear of the day.

[Moonliner]

At the start of the Presidential election cycle, I think it's time to resurrect this thread.

I had two options for "Fear of the day"

1. Tanker stolen with over 3,000 gallons of fuel stolen

2. Cybercom commander: Major cyber attack coming...

Spoiler:

#2 Computer attacks emerge as the threat of the future.

The General says future attacks could cause damage in the real world by attacking physical resources like industrial machines. Really? How could he know that? Oh yeah, because we (or perhaps the Israelis) laid out a road map on how to do it.

As for #1 - I can't find the article at the moment, but there was a great one about all these "terror" related activities written by a long time investigator. In short he said people are always unscrewing bolts on power towers, stealing truck loads of hazardous stuff and generally doing other weird stuff often for no real reason (but mostly for the cash)
