The spies had come without warning. They plied their craft
silently, stealing secrets from the world's most powerful military.
They were at work months before anyone noticed their presence. And
when American officials finally detected the thieves, they saw it
was too late. The damage was done . . . It could have been the plot
of a Tom Clancy thriller: Chinese hackers break into American
defence contractors and steal the plans for a new multi-billion
dollar fighter jet. In fact, it is just one dispatch from the
frontline of a new form of warfare. Our wars are increasingly being
fought online. GCHQ and the NSA gather vast amounts of information
from the internet - and do so with the complicity of companies like
Google and Facebook. The American military fields teams of hackers
who can, and do, launch computer virus attacks against enemy
targets. And with the majority of civil infrastructure - things
like nuclear power stations, hospitals, airports and banking
systems - now run across the internet, the next 9/11 could be a
cyber-attack. Welcome to the modern world of warfare.
