An attack is an attack... --- As with regular terms, cyberattacks are to be evaluated in the basis of intention, level of aggresion, impact, and other political and economic considerations. Just like any regular attack can not be considered an act of war, any cyberattack cannot be contrued as one, either. There has to be a determination of this made by governments, just like it happens in the "real" world.
