Pak-India Cyber War?

Sep.26, 2007 in Cyber Security, Politics and Society

The last thing India and Pakistan need is another way to wage war against each other. But apparently, that’s exactly what they’ve now got. Not satisfied with their confrontation on the Siachen Glacier, nor with the low intensity conflict in Kashmir, or the mutually sponsored acts of random violence in each other’s countries, the two neighbours have found it necessary to engage in Cyber War. Yes, that’s right. Cyber War.

C/Net reports:

“”Governments do try to keep collateral damage to a minimum, and this looks to have been the work of people where it’s obvious where their sympathies lie,” she said. “There’s too much collateral damage.”

In that respect, this most recent DOS attack resembles cyberconflicts that have broken out between hackers in India and Pakistan. “

Would it be too much to ask these Cyber Warriors to give their DoS obsession a rest and spend their time doing something productive instead? Like writing cool urdu applications for the millions of low-end cell phones in Pakistan, or teaching a kid how to program perhaps?

Geez!

I saw the former Chief Strategist of Netscape speak on Cyber Warfare at the SECTOR Conference in Toronto, What an eye opening experience. He stated that given the current cyber weapons race, a cyber war is all but a sure thing. He said “with every tick of the clock we are one second closer to an all out cyber war.” He also talked about a number of cyber weapons that are both software and hardware. The attack on Syria seem like a small skirmish compared to the massive cyber events in late 2007.

Yes, unfortunately the human race will leave no stone unturned in using every available asset – including information technology – to harm each other.

Many countries are working on cyber warfare technology including China, Pakistan, India and the US… everything from the older EMP type devices to eavesdropping, DoS and virii.
