A full on cyber war would be devastating if well orchestrated. Fortunately for us, it's all been piecemeal so far.
Full on cyber war to me looks like a erased economy by zeroing every asset and liability in the banks and funds, with pre-corrupted backups. It looks like bricked firmware on every router, industrial process controller, police/fire radio system, public utilities, even vehicles. It would be like an EMP hit. With nobody getting paid, no emergency services or utilities, public unrest would do all the work.
If they do it right, it's like Einstein's quote about world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
