Welcome to World War E - the new reality of our modern world.
While we watch TV, sleep in our beds, and go on vacations, the world is in a constant state of open warefare. Not the war in the Middle-East, or Afghanistan, but a war delivered right into our homes and businesses via the internet. State sponsored world wide cyberwar is happening every second of every day.
The new victims of this cyberwar are you and me, our children, our businesses, our institutions, and our Western Governments. The goal of this war is strategic domination, destruction of financial stability, theft of corporate and government secrets, and destabilization of Western Democracies.
The history of this conflict is a long one, with notable battles during the Serbian War, where Chinese cyberwariors operating within Seria attacked U.S. Military systems. After the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in the Serbian capital, those attacks stopped. But not all attacks or battles are so easily redressed.
For most of us, the best we can do is stay informed and be aware of the threats, risks, and our vulnerabilities.
The purpose of this website is to aggregate information about these threats, and the status of this global world war - that we call “World War E”.
The term World War E was coined by this author in 1982 for a video game I designed while at Romox, and is trademarked.
We hope you find the information presented useful, and please leave comments!
