Pressure point attacks - Warfare in a cyber age

It appears we are at war with China, have been for years. "such attacks reflected a new doctrine of the PLA described as 'pressure point warfare' - the attacking of specific nodes to leave the adversary paralysed. ... the PLA keen to flex its muscles, Mr Neill suggested. 'The Chinese see no difference between asymmetric warfare and conventional warfare'."

The point is that the Pentagon systems have been penetrated on at least one occasion and Whitehall has been attacked too. MAkes me still more reluctant to see my data held by a central government system!
