Militarizing Cyberspace

摘要

It has become fashionable these days to express skepticism about "cyber war"-and for good reason. The concept is ill defined; it has been used to describe everything from defacing websites to attacking critical infrastructure to committing espionage over computer networks. More troubling is that many of the heralds of cyber war have a commercial stake in the cyber security market. Some may have more ulterior motives for ramping up fears, such as a desire to fan the flames of Sino- American rivalry or to diminish privacy on the Internet.
