Does the world need a Geneva convention on cyber warfare? I'm beginning to believe so. Unfortunately we (humanity) might need something catastrophic to occur fi

  In theory the Convention and the laws of war should apply - there is a big debate if attacking a coutrys power grid is allowed or not. I would not have said this is news certainly the Foreign secretary implied that SIS has done this. I am not sure that reconnaissance is an act of war which is the articles thesis - certainly most hackers would consider reconisance legal or do you think a nmap scan should be a criminal offence? The police woudl not be able to get a conviction against a bank robbery crew if all they had was them looking at where the security cameras where.
