Non-state actors --- And what will happen if a powerful state or group of states are faced with a powerful, massive, organized cyberattack (that can have all elements of cyberwar) but the attack to be organized/executed lets say from a non-state actor (why not powerful corporation, or even unknown dark-web group). Who to blame in such case? Who will be the legitimate target for retribution? Yet, all the consequences can be identical or greater than if the attack was openly declared and executed by a state actor.
