I have a feeling OP used the phrase as a nod to "stochastic terrorism", which would make sense in this instance.

Right. It captures the destabilizing effect of stochastic terrorism, without the terroristic intent. It’s a neat phrase.

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to get at.

That would have been a lot less confusing.
