Netwar

Netwar is a type of conflict between countries or other groups that uses technology. It’s different from a normal conflict because instead of using weapons like guns and bombs, it uses things like computers and the internet to attack people or networks. The goal of netwar is usually to disrupt or damage the other group’s ability to communicate or get information – taking away their “power”. Examples of netwar include cyber attacks, fake news, and sabotage.
