Cyber War Manual Proposes Online Geneva Convention

Posted by samzenpus on from the new-rules dept.

judgecorp writes "A new manual for cyber war has been compiled by international legal experts and published by NATO. The manual proposes that hospitals and dams should be off-limits for online warfare, and says that a conventional response is justified if an attack causes death or serious damage to property. The manual might get its first practical application today — South Korea's TV stations and banks have come under an attack which may well originate from North Korea."

  1. too many reasons for war by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    we already have enough reasons to go to war,
    how about we find ways to foster peace,
    war takes money from the mouths of children,
    why dont we just spend it on education?
