That's because what you call cyber-terrorism isn't terrorism at all. As murder necessarily involves death, terrorism 
_necessarily_ involves the use of violence to incite literal terror for political ends.

As it is silly to call something "cyber-murder", it is silly to say "cyber-terrorism". The term is so much hyperbole 
and emotional button-pushing.

I've made my point, and I'm done feeding the troll now  ;-)

(Thanks, Patrick. I saw that just last week.)

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
