Cyber-threats 'on par' with 9/11

The (London) TImes reported this week, US security chief: cyber-threats 'on par' with 9/11 "Mr Chertoff said that the US Government planned to shift its approach to fighting computer-based crime from what he called 'a fundamentally backward-looking architecture' - analysing attacks as they happened and tracing back to their source - to 'an early-warning system'."

I wonder what that means. I am encouraged he called it "crime" and not "terrorism".
