Growing fears of a cold cyber war brewing between the strongest nations in the world

Fears of a U.S. Russia and China are at cold cyber war

The strongest nations of the world are set to actively create the infrastructure for the effective conduct of military operations in cyberspace, according to a new report by McAfee. Growing fears of a cold cyber war brewing between the strongest nations in the world

Cold cyber warfare is already under way, experts say at McAfee. Countries deploy specialized software, testing and establishing a network of espionage activities in preparation for the use of the Network for waging wars. In particular, they are actively preparing for conflicts in cyberspace, the U.S., Israel, Russia, China and France.

According to a Report written by Paul Kurtz, a former White House counsel on national security. He interviewed more than 20 experts in the field of international relations, national security and Internet security.

“While we have not seen these cases, the fighting in cyberspace, the nations are unwilling to use their capabilities in this area because of fears that large-scale cyber attack can harm their own country. After all, nowadays the world is so interconnected,” – says Dmitri Alperovich, vice president of McAfee for the Study of threats.

Analysts say that the danger of cyber-warfare has been discussed for decades. Unauthorized penetrations into the public system were observed during the time of ARPANET and have long been known that the critical infrastructure of the United States is vulnerable to attacks from cyberspace.

Cyber war in the future to be a big issue with the strongest nations. Already countries are putting systems in place to counter these attacks

Cold cyber warfare involving the United States, China, Russia, France and Israel is already under way, says experts at McAfee

However, it is now, experts have noted the rapid growth of activity in the areas of intelligence gathering and the establishment of an advanced infrastructure for cyber attacks. The efforts of States to develop advanced technologies for cyber attacks and in some cases, demonstration of its willingness to use these weapons, Cold cyber warfare has already begun, – says the report.

However, due to the fact that identifies the source of cyber attacks are usually very difficult or even impossible, all the information about preparing for cyber attacks to date has no real evidence.

Over the next 20-30 years, cyber attacks will certainly become an integral part of the war. However, until they do that I can not predict whether the network is as vulnerable and insecure, that the parties could do only cyber attack, – said William Crowell, former deputy head of the National Security Agency.
