Security guru slams misuse of 'cyberterrorism'

Apparently, Dan Ilett has been quite busy reporting on Infosec Europe for C|Net News. This time, Dan reports that Bruce Schneier has, yet again, slammed the "establishment":

"An Internet security expert told conference attendees Tuesday to use the term 'cyberterrorism' properly--and played down the spread of government-sponsored hacking. Organizations are abusing the word by using it to fuel their budgets, Bruce Schneier said. Speaking at the Infosecurity Europe conference in London, the renowned author and cryptography expert called cyberterrorism a myth that has yet to become to a threat to human life."
