UN: NEXT WORLD WAR COULD HAPPEN IN CYBERSPACE
UN warns of world war online

THE UN telecommunications agency chief Hamadoun Toure has told delegates at the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Telecom World 2009 conference that the next big war will most likely be fought online.

Delegates at the conference in Geneva were told that countries were becoming increasingly dependent on the Internet to control basic services and any future wars could focus more on the online world, since such a battle would allow weaker adversaries to fight on a level playing field with larger powers.

"The next world war could happen in cyberspace and that would be a catastrophe. We have to make sure that all countries understand that in that war, there is no such thing as a superpower," Toure said according to AFP.

"Loss of vital networks would quickly cripple any nation, and none is immune to cyberattack."

That's the problem. The 'civilized' world depends too much on technology, from traffic management to banking and everything inbetween.

"Individual countries have started to respond by bolstering their defences.

US Secretary for Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said Thursday that she has received the green light to hire up to 1,000 cybersecurity experts to ramp up the United States' defenses against cyber threats.

South Korea has also announced plans to train 3,000 "cyber sheriffs" by next year to protect businesses after a spate of attacks on state and private websites."
