- - -<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Thanks Ian for precious links. It seems that time is coming for legal definitions of cyberwarfare, in which we are living already. Initiatives belong to the powers that be, the only ones with the capacity to follow or violate the rules. CS doesn't have much influence, except through occasional media power.<br>
