 What is Cyberwarfare-

Cyberwarfare is a computer- or network-based conflict involving politically motivated attacks by a nation-state on another nation-state.

Cyberspace has become another important dimension of warfare, where nations can carry out conflicts without the clashes of traditional troops and machines. This allows countries with minimal military presence to be as strong as other nations in cyberspace. 

Cyberwarfare is an Internet-based conflict that involves the penetration of computer systems and networks of other nations. These attackers have the resources and expertise to launch massive Internet-based attacks against other nations to cause damage or disrupt services, such as shutting down a power grid.



Example of Cyberwarfare-

An example of a state-sponsored attack involved the Stuxnet malware that was designed to damage Iran’s nuclear enrichment plant. 

Stuxnet malware did not hijack targeted computers to steal information. It was designed to damage physical equipment that was controlled by computers. 


Purpose of Cyberwarfare-

The main purpose of cyberwarfare is to gain an advantage over adversaries, whether they are nations or competitors.

A nation can continuously attack other nation’s infrastructure, steal defense secrets, and gather information about technology to narrow the gaps in its industries and military. Besides industrial and militaristic espionage, cyber war can sabotage the infrastructure of other nations and cost lives in the targeted nations.

His youth had  deserted him, and he was now incapable of enjoying the pleasure offered by life and nature. The awareness of old age having come before it's time leads to a cry of disappearing. But the music of the poem presents the triumphs of Shelly's lyrical powers. पाठ के बारे मे- 1821 में लिखी गई कविता 'ए लामेंट' से पता चलता है कि शेल
