As part of a weeklong series of articles called the “Battle for the Internet,” The Guardian presented a couple of articles on that focused on the militarization of cyberspace. The London-based daily reports that the U.S. Defense and State departments, along with their Chinese counterparts, held two secret cyberwar games last year. According to the article, the virtual war games “were designed to help prevent a sudden military escalation if either [side] felt [it was] being targeted.” The Guardian says that another round is being planned for May. The thrust of the other article was that China is currently the nation best equipped to launch cyberattacks, with the United States, the U.K., and other countries lagging far behind.
