Discussion
Recently, the Pentagon has concluded that computer sabotage coming from another country can constitute an act of war. The pentagon's first formal cyber strategy, unclassified portions of which became public in June of 2011, represents an early attempt to grapple with a changing world in which a hacker could pose a significant threat to U.S nuclear reactors, subways or pipelines from a hostile country's military. Recent cyber-attacks on the Pentagon's systems by another foreign country have given new urgency to U.S efforts to develop a more formalized approach to cyber-attacks.
