A quote from FrontLine Internet Security's Experts

The growing ubiquity of computers and their associated networks are propelling the world into the information age. Computers may revolutionize terrorism in the same manner that they have revolutionized everyday life.

Terrorism in the information age will consist of conventional terrorism, in which classic weapons (explosives, guns, commercial aircraft, etc.) will be used to destroy property and kill victims in the physical world; technoterrorism in which classic weapons will be used to destroy infrastructure targets and cause a disruption in cyberspace; and cyberterrorism, where new weapons (malicious software, computer viruses, trojan horses, computer network worms, cyber hackers, and DOS attacks) that will operate to destroy data in cyberspace to cause a disruption in the physical world.

These acts of cyberterrorism may include such things as a global disruption to monetary systems or can be as specific as changing the prescription dosage received by your local pharmacy to cause illness and/or death.

The advent of cyberterrorism may force a shift in the definition of terrorism to include both disruption and violence in cyberspace in the same manner as physical destruction and violence. Through the use of this new technology by terrorist groups whose numbers may be few, yet they will still have a global reach. The increasing power of computers will lower the threshold of entry into cyberterrorism. With the power of today's computer technology a small group of cyberterrorist can create a disruption with the magnitude so large that pales in comparison to any cyberterrorism seen to date. The attacks that we have experienced to date (Love Bug, Code Red, Sircam and Nimda) in our opinion are just a prelude to the main event yet to come!
