Cyber warfare can be attacks from country to country, through businesses, terrorist organisations, as well as attacks on singletons. It has now become major concern within the cyber world. Even militaries now have branches committed to defending and running cyber warfare.
The world we live in is becoming more and more networked every day (there are over 400 million websites as of 2013). As I said, militaries have people working against cyber warfare, as well as people working for it. Although military systems have extremely high level of security, they are often breakable by certain people. If military services can be hacked and exploited, how easy do you think it would be for cyber warfare to happen someone else?
And don't go thinking that cyber warfare is a myth and hasn't yet happened. It has. In 2009, the United States made a report available of which said the US' electrical grid was at a very high risk of being attacked. If this was to happen, it would shut off millions and millions of people's electricity.
Although an attack didn't actually happen, it can do. And if it was to, combined with a military attack, it could prove to be extremely disastrous.
What do you think of cyber warfare? Does it worry you?
