Who else thinks that the world needs an international arms control treaty to forbid cyber weapons?
Especially Americans need to get behind this. Right now Americans have a perceived advantage in cyber weapon technology and are thus opposed to cyber arms control.
- klt0825 14y agoI'm not opposed to this at all but I question how exactly enforcement would/can work. We don't know with 100% accuracy who was responsible for Stuxnet, Flame, Operation Aurora, etc and especially with code, it is going to be exceedingly difficult in most cases to get evidence such that blame can be leveled with any certainty.

- extension 14y agoFrom what we've seen, these cyberweapons take a long time to work their way behind enemy lines and must evolve as they do so. If it's hidden in a shoe then it's not really a useful cyberweapon.
