Speculative Design: More about Cyber-warfare



After some researches, it turns out that cyber-warfare is such a grey area in legal term, United Nations has got international laws to cover human rights and laws of war. But there is none which specified activity such as cyber-wars. Since there is no a single agreement on what defines cyber-warfare, in the political sense this can be really tricky.

As the video describes. if somebody causes damage to a nation through internet and cyber-activity, does that qualified as an act of war? Anything done over the cyberspace is as clear as mud, there is nothing to restrict or prevent the possible cyber-crime. This clearly shows the lack of awareness over the issue of cyber-wars. Maybe is because the harm it causes is yet to reach the point where it can affect the general public in a dramatic scale, but there is a sign.Powerful countries worldwide have started establishing cyber-activity units, they have specialized army for cyberwars. And few documentaries have shown how much they have done already in the military.





It seems like cyberwarfare is really a thing we should look into
