Cyberwar in Georgia

This article in the NY TIMES details what may have been a cyberwar attack by Russia against Georgia prior to the invsion.

The TIMES refuses to call a spade a spade. Russia attacked in cyberspace. While Georgia is not as dependent on the internet as more developed countries, we have to understand that we will be similarly targeted should Russia or China , or even Al Queda decide to do so.

Cyberwar is a perfect weapon for any enemy to use. It it cheap, it can be carried out from any place in the world, and it is almost untraceable.
