I’m thinking about fairly close to doomsday scenarios.
If/when we reach a point of extreme tension with tit for tat cyber attacks, would Western countries be totally incapacitated for days or weeks while Russia or China were less impacted? Things like food supply, public services etc.
Perhaps such things would escalate so quickly that the internet would be the least of our worries.
- toyg 5y agoThere are books on this sort of things, the topic is vast. From energy supply to commercial food operations, there are a lot of very different situations. This said, I reckon that all-out cyberwar on the scale necessary to impact food supply, would see IRL retaliation too quickly for it to matter. The US military has its own network strategy, its own satellites, etc etc, so they will be ready to pounce.
