Abstract

A DECADE AGO, Russian tanks rolled into South Ossetia, a northern province of Georgia. Even before they started moving, a 'third force' had already embarked on an exercise of hacking into government computer networks and local news agencies. Although the latest edition of the 'Tallinn Manual' on cyber warfare tackles the question of legal retaliation for attacks launched across the internet, a major problem will be identifying who is responsible quickly enough to respond in a useful way. Defence looks to be the only realistic option for countering the wide range of potential attacks that could be staged by a hostile nation.
