Dartmouth College's Institute for Security Technology Studies examined 
cyberwar overseas—with particular attention to the conflicts in Serbia and 
the Middle East—and concluded that virtual onslaughts "immediately
accompany 
physical attacks." By the logic of that analysis, if Bush moves on Saddam 
Hussein after the midterm elections, we would see the first full-on blitz

hackers to break into a company's wireless LAN with the intention of
stealing 
or damaging corporate data. Wright's revelation about the existence of
