High-energy weapons, in theory, could also cause crashes by disabling computer systems. Sophisticated computer controls are vulnerable to both destructive software and high-energy weapons. Everything from tanks to surveillance aircraft are potentially at risk. Sniffer programs can track funds transfers. Logic bombs could cripple the markets and destroy records of transactions.
Computer hackers can crack into banking networks and steal money.
Logic bombs or worms could knock out power grids, causing local or regional black outs. Logic bombs in traffic-control networks could cause crashes by misrouting trains. Mostly, the weapons of information warfare are the digital bits of software. It then typically destroys or rewrites data. A high-energy radio frequency weapon.
