Running scared

In July, 2001, the appearance of the computer virus, Code Red, hinted that 
the world was on the brink of a new type of conflict: virus-driven 
government-against-government-inspired instability. Doomsayers such as the 
US National Security Council's Richard Clarke postulated that Code Red 
represented no less than an electronic Pearl Harbour. But the hijacked 
airliners that crashed in North America two months later changed all that, 
and, says virus and security expert Nick FitzGerald, blew the e-warfare 
doomsaying theories out of the water.
