online warfare

Online warfare refers to the use of cyber tactics to defend, attack, or influence digital systems and networks. It includes activities like hacking into an opponent’s computers, spreading disinformation, conducting surveillance, or disrupting critical infrastructure such as power grids or communication channels. Countries and organizations engage in online warfare to gain strategic advantages without traditional military conflict, often operating covertly. It’s a complex, evolving field that blends cybersecurity, intelligence, and strategic planning, aiming to defend national interests or weaken adversaries through digital means.
