The International consequences of cyber warfare: A study of the "stuxnet" case
Keywords:
Stuxnet, Cyber warfare, cybersecurityAbstract
Abstract– This article attempts to analyse the international consequences of
cyber warfare. As an example, the author considered an episode of joint
operation of the U.S. and Israel against a nuclear facility located in Natanz,
Iran with the aim to destabilise it using the “Stuxnet” computer worm. The
study aims to define the concept of cyber warfare and its characteristics,
briefly analyse the principle of the virus, understand the impact and
consequences of the virus on the international community, and determine
further prospects and threats that await us with the development of cyberwars.
