1. I am surprised it didn't start till 2010

The civilian internet has been around since the early 90s and the military for decades before then but Stuxnet which was the first example of cyber warfare the world had ever seen took till 2010. Considering how fast technology is changing I would have thought it would have happened long ago. Cyber warfare is probably going to be a standard first strike weapon in future wars. From the safety of an air conditioned office for no extra cost they can invent viruses which they can use to take out defense systems before attacking and we would have no defenses. Stuxnet was the wake up call for the world that cyber warfare is just around the corner so we have to prepare for it.
2. Cyberwarfare

Israel needs a offensive and defensive capacity and not share the technology with anyone since that technology could be used against israel. Israel in my opinion as a policy must be prepared to use it against any country that threatens israel militarily diplomatically or economically like in boycotts and embargos.
3. #1, try googling Stuxnet.....

4. Chinese using it for commercial advantage

They will hack into any prominent business and suck the company dry for all its intellectual and technical knowledge. In months, they have a new factory running in asia producing goods that took the victim company 40 years of research and billions of dollars to develop. What they are specifically looking for is not the equipment or lay-out--they already have all that information from "friendship tours" and eager company lobbyists who gave it to them-what they want are the settings for the machines and not even the CIA has come up with a way to stop them and I'm sure they're not the only country doing it. It is the largest theft of intellectual property in history.
