Baroness Neville-Jones, speaking during a Tackling Online Jihad conference in her capacity as the Security Minister, reportedly told her audience that the terrorist threat to the UK was a diverse one, and that “as terrorists diversify their techniques and shift geographically, the range of tools available to them widens and opportunities for differing forms of terrorism, including cyber attack increase” (2011b). She substantiated this line of thought by noting that there was also a risk:

likely to grow over time and which we monitor closely, that terrorists will develop serious cyber attack capabilities: by this I mean the ability to commit acts of terror by hacking into critical infrastructure and online systems. In some form, a cyber attack attempted by terrorists, if not inevitable, is of so great a likelihood that we bear it in mind in developing operational capabilities.

(2011b)
