Cyber Warfare Is Even More Deadly Than Real Combat ???




                                    Cyber Warfare Is Even More Deadly Than  Real Combat ???



 In this blog I am going to discuss the debate about the threat of cyber warfare in our society. Also I am going to explain what is cyber warfare and why society as a whole should and the government need to address these more and work even harder to ensure are safety.

Cyber warfare is one those problems which threats national security which over the years has become increasing more threatening and real concern over the years. Cyber war fare refers to politically motivated hacking to conduct sabotage and espionage. It is a form of information warfare sometimes seen as analogous to conventional warfare, and in 2013 was , for the first time , considered a lager threat Al Qaeda or terrorism, by many U.S intelligence officials.

I think its really shocking and at the same time I  am curious on how the shift of most western security have been from threats from terrorist groups to hacker groups. when  I was carrying out research on this topic , i came across a result of a cyber warfare attack would lead to a Cyber Pearl Harbor , this means basically a cyberspace attack that could disable many information technology services and systems throughout american and its ally countries such the united kingdom.Which could lead many infrastructure that uses computers to suffer or collapse.

The fear Cyber Pear Harbor has prioritise  cyber warfare ahead of combat terrorism.  also sometime happen when adds fuel to the fire of the prospect of a Cyber Pearl Harbor happening , as in the year 2010  Google released information about highly sophisticated and targeted attack on their corporate infrastructure from a chinese source.

 I think the best way to combat cyber warfare and lower the risk of a major attack etc is that world leaders need need improve the relationship with other leaders. I know its seems kind obvious , but if the world can improve the global social skills it puts a dent  towards the threat of cyber attacks , as the way political world leaders relationship is show in the media as very in tense.
 For example a top chinese military officer has said that the damaging consequences caused by cyber war may be as serious as nuclear bomb and he said that he believes it is important to set up the idea that we should jointly work on this issue and set up a mechanism to enhance coordination and cooperation on cyber security .http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/1825973/report-consequences-of-cyber-war-may-be-as-serious-as-nuke-bomb-chinese-military-officer
