TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - The psychological effects of cyber terrorism JO - Bulletin of the atomic scientists (1974) A1 - Gross, Michael L. A1 - Canetti, Daphna A1 - Vashdi, Dana R. SP - 284 EP - 291 VL - 72 IS - 5 N2 - When ordinary citizens think of cyber threats, most are probably worried about their passwords and banking details, not a terrorist attack. The thought of a shooting in a mall or a bombing at an airport is probably more frightening than a cyber breach. Yet terrorists aim for mental as well as physical destruction, and our research has found that, depending on who the attackers and the victims are, the psychological effects of cyber threats can rival those of traditional terrorism.
