War is war and offensive and/or defensive info ops are just a part of the war like a battle or an operation is. We are very far away from seeing a true cyber war, which to me is full on information operations with no real physical attack unless caused by exploitation of those info ops (i.e. exploiting cooling system at a nuclear power plant to cause a meltdown...) I honestly even found events like the Palestinian/Israeli Cyber Conflict or the Chinese/American cyber conflict kind of silly due to the fact that it was largely web defacements with political messages and shout outs... All in all there is no arguing that cyber attacks happen all day, every day whether they are personal, state sponsored, organized crime-related or whatever... but I still honestly dont consider them cyber war or cyber terrorism. I remember laughing one day when I was discussing attacks with a member of some Romanian hacker group from back in 2000 and I asked him why the groups level attacks had risen. The answer was "School let out." They were all about attacking websites (really didn't matter where as some were Korean based web servers with like 800 sites hosted on them...) and putting up pro-Isreal or pro-Palestine messages... But really it was just bored kids and not any elite haxor group doing their part for the 'war'.
