Not sure I take the reductionist view point of calling the hacking "just a Bond script release". Allegedly the hackers stole over 300TB of data, and we have already seen them mountains of private information such as SSNs. If those SSNs were then sold/used for fraud (causing even more damage), and that revenue used to by weapons, could we call it a terrorist act then?
- arghnoname 12y agoNo. If I rob a bank it is not a terrorist act. If I use the money to make a dirty bomb and commit a terrorist act with said bomb, that's a terrorist act, not the initial robbery.
- paulhauggis 12y agoIt's a terrorist act to threaten movie theaters with 9/11 style attacks for showing a movie and this is exactly what the hackers are doing.
- yourad_io 12y agoA terrorist threat and a terrorist act are easily distinguished: "Did shit blow up? Then It was an act." Threats are not acts, despite what any legal framework may say.
