Article is misleading

[edit]

As this article stands it gives the misleading impression that EO 13010 is solely about "computer-based attacks on the information or communications components that control critical infrastructures." The scope of EO 13010 is, in fact, much broader, including all of the critical infrastructure in the United States:

Certain national infrastructures are so vital that their incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on the defense or economic security of the United States. These critical infrastructures include telecommunications, electrical power systems, gas and oil storage and transportation, banking and finance, transportation, water supply systems, emergency services (including medical, police, fire, and rescue), and continuity of government. Threats to these critical infrastructures fall into two categories: physical threats to tangible property ("physical threats"), and threats of electronic, radio-frequency, or computer-based attacks on the information or communications components that control critical infrastructures ("cyber threats").[1]
