Cyber warfare?

Well the debate rages on. Cyber warfare is as it says on the tin warfare that happens in the cyber world. In theory, this means that the impact and effects of any attack must be contained to the cyber-world and must not have real world effects. Increasingly what an attacker wants is the actual information that can and is used to drive a real world event via an automated or manual system. That is Information Operations (warfare) and there are many facets to it. The media buzz on cyber warfare and the fuel added on by academics has given this term a totally different meaning which could result in scaremongering.
