The only widespread information crisis ever expected was the , 2000 , due to Flaws in programs which would treat the year 2000 as 1900 .


FICTION AND POPULAR CULTURE

  • In Tom Clancy 's '' Splinter Cell ,'' an ingenious Canadian Hacker , Phillipe Masse, engineers an information crisis in the United States. The failure of electronic systems results in many casualties, ranging from Train Crashes and failure of Hospital Life-support systems to sewage backup at a water treatment plant. The attack is successful not because of the casualties, but because of the unpredictable spreading of effects; rather than taking place in an isolated location, many Civilians felt the threat could come from anywhere.
