I was purely responding to the notion that "cyberattack" as a term implies something exclusively non-physical, since it has been used many, many times to refer to techniques that require physical access to the system that is being attacked.
- TheNewsIsHere 4y agoThis kind of disparate interpretation is why I still prefer the term information security (and related, information assurance). It’s much more unambiguously inclusive, and still perfectly descriptive of the field and practice.
- QuarterReptile 4y agoI'm sympathetic to that idea on first glance. Would you consider Stuxnet a cyber attack, though? I think I instinctively would, despite liking your description, yet it required USB drive placement.
