Cyber war refers to the use of digital attacks by nations or organized groups to disrupt, damage, or spy on critical infrastructure, government systems, or private networks of adversaries. Unlike traditional warfare, it operates in cyberspace, targeting computers, servers, and networks to steal data, disable services, or manipulate information.
Key forms include:
Cyber Espionage: Stealing sensitive data (e.g., military secrets, corporate IP).
Disruption Attacks: Overloading systems (e.g., DDoS attacks) to halt operations.
Sabotage: Destroying infrastructure (e.g., Stuxnet virus damaging Iranian centrifuges).
Misinformation: Spreading fake news to manipulate public opinion.
Cyber wars are covert, often leaving no clear attacker, and blur the line between crime and warfare. Examples include Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s power grid (2015) and alleged Chinese hacking of U.S. agencies. Defenses involve encryption, AI-driven threat detection, and international cyber treaties.
The stakes are high—modern economies and militaries rely on interconnected systems, making cyber war a top national security threat. Unlike conventional war, its effects can be instantaneous and global, requiring constant vigilance and collaboration to mitigate risks.
