So, "cyberwar" can happen once (we fix stuff so the second time doesn't happen), and the cyberwar has to happen all at once, with no preliminary "skirmishes", and no warning "shots", otherwise, we fix stuff so it doesn't happen again.
And yes, I've read about Titan Rain, Ghost Net, Operation Aurora, Coolswallow, Giving Wings to the Tiger, The Dark Visitor, Estonia's "Web War One" and more. All of this talk of "cyberwar" strikes me as merely a modern-day regurgitation of Cold War Boogie Man Stories, like Missile Gaps, and Bomber Gaps, Bears in the Forest, and Yellow Hordes, and stoic Spetznaz supermen. The emergent behavior seems to be lining up a successor magic funding word to "terrorism", should bin Laden die.
