highly recommend checking out this site for some incredible insight
from the hacker, consultants, and law enforcement.  -WK]

The fifth estate is a respected documentary show on the CBC in Canada.
Tonight they looked at hackers and "cyber" terrorism in general. Some
very good info about Computer security (or lack thereof), they also
managed to get a microsofty on camera to admit their software is
pretty hackable. His defence was that making their software too secure
would render it unusable. Anyway, here is the link to the show's home
page, which has links to a lot of very interesting and in-depth
interviews with various hackers and computer security experts,
including two cDc members, authors of the infamous BackOrifice." Well,
it sure is good to know that "hackers" and "cyber-terrorists" are
equivalent.
