I've been wondering about civilian involvement in cyberwarfare lately. I think it's pretty likely that some regular citizens would love to throw some cheap cyber-shots at a nation with whom we were at war. If we were to war with China, for example, how many American amateurs and hobbyists would spend their evenings trying to hack some part of the Chinese military infrastructure?
Another thing that pops into my head is people trying to organize, only to have real-life enemy intelligence agents read the plans on a forum and thereby develop countermeasures, and/or disrupt, sabotage, or steal what is developed in order to use it against them.
Not to mention people tweeting troop movements, etc. :P
War might not be pretty, but it sure is fascinating.
