Cyberwarfare

Most may think it's science fiction

Many just choose to ignore

But the truth and reality is

Countries have and are, engaging in cyberwar

Could be against individuals

Or countries at large

It is all done so covertly

As opposed to, a military charge

In a program, a virus created

Like “Stuxnet”, those Countries responsible did recant

But the reality is, malware in a USB stick

Brought down, a country's uranium enrichment plant

This is only one example

Of what two, conspiring countries did

The attacks are completely endless

From crashing aircraft, to bringing down an electrical grid

You may ponder, at how this is possible

And wonder when it begun

It started in the Internet's infancy

When the “hackers” did it for fun

Those virus' caused much chaos

For sure, various nations took note

Applying that technology in non-virtuous ways

Creates havoc, with no immediate antidote

Malware's created for digital arms and espionage

To steal designs or to thwart, the infrastructure of a nation

Much cheaper than air strikes or military action

Easy to design and hard to know, who's responsible for it's creation

Capable of bringing down financial institutions

Medical systems or any economic disruption

Can be used by terrorist groups and criminals

Or literally, anyone bent on corruption

On the “dark web”, attack kits are downloadable

If that is your kind of school

But, for the majority of the internet users

It's a wonderful information highway and a very useful tool
