FBI: Cyber-Attacks Surpassing Terrorism As Major Domestic Threat

I would be more likely to believe a statistic like this if it wasn't followed up by statements like "Congress should be wary of rolling back surveillance programs like the one employed by the National Security Agency." During his first testimony as the new FBI director, James Comey told Congress on Thursday that while the threat of traditional terrorist strikes inside the United States is now lower than it was before 2001, the potential threat from cyber-attacks continues to rise. "That's where the bad guys will go," Comey said, as quoted by the Guardian. "There are no safe neighborhoods. All of us are neighbors [online]."
