What is Cyber War? Is it disastrous? Can it be prevented?
Cyber war is described as a 'politically motivated' hacking to conduct sabotage and espionage.
It is a form of information warfare. It has been defined by government security expert Richard A. Clarke, in his book Cyber War, as "actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation's computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption."
