Is the term ‘cyberwar’ being misused?

DALLAS: Is there really a “cyberwar” going on? Some officials and computer security companies say yes, arguing that armies of hackers are stealing online secrets and using the Internet to attack infrastructure such as power grids.

However, some security analysts said at a conference this week that “cyberwarfare” is such a broadly used term that it might be hurting efforts by countries to agree how to co-operate on Internet security.
