During the 911 attack, I have been watching the
communications. Phone system in NYC had been half crippled, and since there were
so many people trying to call NYC from overseas, the IDD phone system in Hong
Kong was also affected -- not only calling the U.S. but to other countries as
well. I was thinking what if there were a cyber attack at the same time -- would
the whole communications system be totally brought down?
