> The United States may be an uncontested military superpower, but it 
> remains defenseless against a new mode of attack: information warfare. As 
> the military, the private sector, and Washington grow increasingly 
> dependent on computers and information networks, they also grow more 
> vulnerable to cyber-attack. Cyberspace is becoming the new front line of 
> warfare, and private citizens are the new prime target. U.S. policymakers 
> and technology entrepreneurs must wake up to this threat and build a wall 
> of defense -- now.
