Law enforcement and first responder got a special bulletin recently warning them to be aware of and understand that terrorists frequent popular social media sites and Web blogs to gather pre-operational surveillance. Some cyber terrorists according to the bulletin are sophisticated enough to penetrate an organization’s network and devices-and gather personal, sensitive, or proprietary data. Virtual tours, security procedures, even business hours are key sources of information for terrorists and criminal organizations. Authorities warn terrorists are getting better and could use this type of information launch both cyber and physical attack almost simultaneously.
