Attacks against the infrastructure of a country are considered an act of war. The response to such an action would really have to depend on the damage caused. I suspect that you would see ramifications from such an attack in the form of a counterstrike simply because this type of attack would be viewed by any administration as a prelude larger and more destructive events.

Russia has been using covert cyberspace to recruit spies during the cold war according to the news. We never attacked them. But it is a new day because most people have access to internet. Also in Europe, the CIA and FBI says that Illegal gangs are recruiting low level paid internet pros and hiring them for illicit behavior. We have a world of really cruel people. But no one own the internet -- so what you give, some one will come along and take it back -- so leave this idea along please. You may be attracting the law to you by just thinking about it. Bad Bad

Good question. I would have to say yes. BTW, War Games was not about computer attacks (viruses, worms, spy ware, etc.), it was about nuclear attacks initiated by a computer.

Depends on the situation. If a peaceful nation needs to thwart an evil one from being able to exact its capabilities on it, then it is defense. If a terrorist group decides to attack, then it is war.
