Terrorist

A terrorist is an individual who seek to destroy, incapacitate, or exploit critical infrastructures to threaten national security, cause mass casualties, weaken the economy, and damage public morale and confidence. However, traditional terrorist adversaries of the United States are less developed in their computer network capabilities than other adversaries. Terrorists likely pose a limited cyberthreat. The CIA believes terrorists will stay focused on traditional attack methods, but it anticipates growing cyberthreats as a more technically competent generation enters the ranks.
