qualification as cyberwarfare --- Traditionally, all or at least most wars are started through some political motive and it wont be different in cyberspace. Its only a matter of time before the next cyberwar begins through some cyberspace incident. Since there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes cyberwarfare, a politically motivated cyberattack though broad and subjective, can qualify as cyberwarfare because an actual attack did take place albeit for a political purpose. All the more reason to have a common consensus of what constitutes a cyberwar.
