From Estonia to Tampa, recent events teach us that cyber-warfare is indeed a war. It must be fought harder and smarter and within the context of the broader struggle against Islamist extremism.I am not so concerned about hacker warfare using mass denial of service attacks which this article focusses on. I think the network of information systems is robust enough to handle it. What should be concerned about is that the proliferation of Jihadi websites is a measure of the fact that we are losing the War of Ideas with Islamism. The recent book by J. Michael Waller Fighting the War of Ideas like a Real War is a more sophisticated discussion of the problem; his receommendations are quite provocative. Worth reading.
