Cyberwar.... could it just be another Y2k scare?
The thought of a war is frightening and always stirs up a frenzy but the thought of a cyberwar is a nightmare and confusing for many to comprehend. Cyberwar is the attacks and threats against computers and information networks it has been the goverments fear for years, the very act is unlawful and a intelligent way for terrorist to cause distruction against a nation. Cyberspace is always volnerable for attacks there are easily accsessed virus on the web that can destroy and ultimately destroy goverment and company data and trade screts. However not everyone is so sure that a cyberwar will ever occur, John Arquilla who came up with the term cyberwar many years ago feel that the term has been taken out of context he refers to the word as a controled goverment activity meaning military interactions that can be regulated so that the opposing military cannot function. Ariquilla believes that hacking is just a small part of cyberwar and he strongly believes that cyberwarfare is less risky due to the fact that it is only a method to "improve your capabilities" so that your likely to lose fewer and win more.

I saw the former Chief Strategist of Netscape speak on Cyber Warfare at the SECTOR Conference in Toronto, What an eye opening experience. He stated that given the current cyber weapons race, a cyber war is all but a sure thing. He said "with every tick of the clock we are one second closer to an all out cyber war." He also talked about a number of cyber weapons that are both software and hardware. The attack on Syria seem like a small skirmish compared to the massive cyber events in late 2007.
