The war is on, run for your lives (and supplies…)!

Swedes are not very famous for neither their temper nor their patriotic feelings, nevertheless, it seems that we are heading towards an act of retaliation towards the enemy, which in this case is Turkey. One will obviously ask “What the hell are you talking about?”.
Turkey’s attention is on the borders with Iraq and obviously it has a strong impact on the country’s inner social condition.
However, recently a war started online between Sweden and Turkey (read first here and then here). Today, it came to my attention this article accompanied with the viewpoint of the head of the Swedish IT Incident Centre (SITIC) over hacking attacks between the two countries without though being institutionalized. Maybe this is the new form of terror extremist groups? The future will show…
Another example coming to my mind is the recent incident (Sept. 2007) which according to American ­officials, Chinese military hacked into a Pentagon computer network in June in the most successful cyber attack on the US defense department (read here), the accusation was obviously declined (read here).
I could go for hours recalling several examples of such, that is not the point. The point is that since this has gone public, it obviously means, it has been taking place for a long time and reveals signs for the future. The war is on, who will prevail? No idea, I only think it’s an interesting and beneficial observation.
Some countries seem to be ready for that kind of war (ex. China, read here) or are taking steps towards that direction, others are simply increasing the annual expenses on enriching their armies without taking action in that respect (I will call no names ).
