Don't you get it.

Don't you get it. The cyberwar isn't "heating up", what "cyberwar" exists has existed since the 90's. Yes technological pervasiveness is making vulnerabilities being taken advantage of hit larger swaths of devices, but that's not why you see the heating up of the arena. The real reason is that we need a new boogieman to justify the level of surveillance. The public, as deluded and propagandised as they are, is starting to get tired of the same ol terrorism argument, so this is the new communism/terrorism, etc. The point is that it's never about what they say it's about. It's about control. Inverted totalitarianism.
