Cyber War Started?

"skorea says attackers use IP address in 16 nations"

"US and South Korea hit by cyber attacks"

These are couple of breaking news headlines that you can come today. Yes that sounds like a normal cyber attack. However the difference is that it seems like couple of countries (US, South Korea and North Korea) involved and present they are involved in political arguments base on nuclear testing .

Is this a pre warning that they can do a cyber attack on US or South Korea? I am not sure what they trying to say but anyone knows what is going to happened in a cyber war if one started? Is it just putting government websites offline or change the home pages with funny pictures? Are they going to activate the nuclear bombs? Crash the stock market or financial institutes?

Most of our day today life is depend on computer and Internet. In country's point of view computers and Internet is crucial. In nature internet is not secure at all.

So anything is possible at this stage.
