“…If they permit efficient national and global monitoring and control of critical infrastructures, they also multiply the points of entry through which hostile partiesbe they anarchist "hackers", transnational terrorists, or hostile states -can attack them. Moreover, "cyberattacks" circumvent many of the logistical challenges of traditional armed conflict: computer viruses like the, I Love You" and "Mother's Day" strains that infected millions of computers world-wide in early 2000 require no airlift or sealift capability [16].…”

The Internet quite naturally is becoming a 'new battlefield' or 'offers a new dimension' (the fifth to the: land, sea, air, and stratosphere) to the conflict. Cyberwar is another way of being in conflict in the long history of military technology, which forces new tactical and operational concepts. Global awareness of cyberwar has risen considerably in the last few years and many national states are preparing for defence and offensive operations. In fact, cyberwar is a part of the evolution of conventional war, which, on the other hand is related to the changes in the social, political and mainly technological sphere. What is being stressed is the need to examine the ethical implications, which lead to further questions and doubts whether the use of the techniques of cyber war may result in shorter and less bloody and consequently more 'ethical' conflicts? Cyber-attack doesn't need to kill anyone or cause material loses, but it is still considered dangerous.

While enormous efficiencies have been gained as a result of computers and telecommunications technologies, use of these systems and networks translates into a major concentration of information resources, createing a vulnerability to a host of attacks and exploitations"--Provided by publisher.

“…According to one analysis, "Factors that may influence whether something is an act of force include expected lethality, destructiveness and invasiveness." 61 Thus, Article 41 may be interpreted as allowing some interruption of communications, if it is not done in a manner that is not lethal, destructive or invasive, but what does that mean in the cyber sense? Certainly, some acts against communication systems could be considered quite destructive and/or invasive, such as the manipulation of dam controls or power grids.…”

“…Possible pre -emptive actions must be also be considered and under what circumstances these might be allowed. 66 Elaborating upon this nutshell-identification of problems, Andrey Krutskikh, reflecting a general line of thinking among Russian experts, has made a number of suggestions for further international law work that would aim at including cyberattacks more broadly into extant international law. They can be summarized as follows:…”

Explanatory Comments to Recommendations 11/21/2003 WFS Information Security PMP 12 death or bodily injury, explosions, plane crashes, water contamination, or severe economic loss would be examples. 16 Cyberwar is a very real technique of war, and likely to be used more and more as time passes. The U.S., for example, has developed an "e-bomb" that utilizes high-velocity electromagnetic pulses that can permanently disable electrical and communication systems. 17 The cyberwar and cybercrime problem will continue to pose a serious threat that will require a coordinated response from industry, intelligence, military and defense, national security officials, and law enforcement. Even more disconcerting is the fact that there is not only the potential-but the likelihood-of a combination of attacks that will impair economic interests, critical infrastructures, and military and defense capabilities. According to a recently published UN report, "Cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism, and possibly cyber-war, will be an inevitable part of our future landscape." 18 Jurgen Storbeck, Director of Europol, has described the Internet as "a new sphere of life and a new scene of crime." 19 105 Id. at 13-15. 106 Id. at 16. 107 Id. at 60-61. 108 Id. at 43.
