British Police Make Arrest in Net Attacks

This is scary! The internet has become a portal for lack of a better word "terrorism" against commercial economies and federal agencies. I find it disturbing that Twitter, a place for fun social networking, as developed into a realm where individuals can make threatening statements that can cause potential harm to our society. Topiary, the vigilante's online alias on Twitter made a Tweet after several arrests for internet attacks were made that " You cannot arrest and idea." This is unsettling because this could mean that a "idea" or plan of action is already under way. Online attack are taking place every day but one day there may catastrophic repercussions. What if these hackers were about to not only effect the shares of eBay by exterminating PayPal accounts but what if these hacker groups had access to pay pal accounts or FBI security measures. The global economy could severely suffer.
