I just want everyone to realize two things about computer security: 1) Without very much difficulty, anybody can encrypt a message to be sent to another person. No government can break this encryption, and no amount of surveillance will help. Either the sending or receiving party must be compromised to do effective spying, all the stuff in the middle does not count. 2) Security holes are agnostic to attackers. If your system is vulnerable to attack, then it is vulnerable to attack. SQL injection vulnerabilities do not care if your native tongue is Chinese. "Cyber war" is no different to prepare for whether you're battling a terrorist, a foreign government, or a 12 year old with a botnet.
