Cyber Warfare: Espionage, Botnet

Abstract

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. The topic of cyber warfare is a vast one, with numerous sub topics receiving attention from the research community. We first examine the most basic question of what cyber warfare is, comparing existing definitions to find common ground or disagreements. Recent years have shown us the importance of cybersecurity. Especially, when the matter is national security, it is even more essential and crucial. Increasing cyberattacks, especially between countries in governmental level, created a new term cyber warfare. Creating some rules and regulations for this kind of war is necessary therefore international justice systems are working on it continuously. priority over the last decade, the Human Factors community has yet to approach it with critical mass.
