Augusta, Ga. – American Intelligence officials expressed their concern to lawmakers Tuesday about Al Qaeda and their allies attempting a terrorist attack on the United State’s telecommunication system within the next six months.

These officials have named these potential large-scale attacks as a cyber-Pearl Harbor, and they can result in sensitive information being stolen daily from both the government and private sectors.
