The term "black swan" is used to refer to events that occur though they had been thought to be impossible. They are more likely when your risk models include "fat tailed" probability distributions, which can be caused by preferential attachment mechanisms in social networks. Methods for coping with black swans include stress tests, horizon scanning exercises, logics of precaution, and increased resilience.
