Global Nerdy » Cyberwar Ain’t What It Used to Be:

What I find really interesting is that the only futuristic thing about the whole affair are the “cyber-” terms used to describe it. The actual attack itself isn’t anywhere as exotic or future-tech-y as Neuromancer and all those other cyberpunk novels of the ’80s and ’90s made such things out to be. In fact, a lot of it seems so damned ordinary

Estonia was the first large scale victim of cyberwar earlier this year. The amusing thing is how simple it was, compared to what sci-fi imagined it ought to be.
