Pentagon Researcher Conjures Warcraft Terror Plot
Found on Wired on Tuesday, 16 September 2008
There's been no public proof to date of terrorists hatching plots in virtual worlds. But online spaces like World of Warcraft are making some spooks, generals and Congressmen extremely nervous.
Toavs, for one, believes that spies will have to spend more time in virtual worlds like WoW, if they want to have a hope of keeping tabs on what goes on inside 'em. Which means, some day soon, we might find secret agents in World of Warcraft, along with the druids and orcs and night elves.
I'm somewhat relieved that there are people with a paranoia worse than mine; but at the same time it's a bit worrying that those people are in charge.
