Imagine a world
- Mainland China uses cyber weapons and tactics to influence Taiwan’s elections
- Israel uses cyber tactics to influence Iran’s elections (yes Iran has elections)
- Russia /Syria/ Iran uses cyber tactics to influence Israel’s elections
- Pakistan uses cyber weapons and tactics to influence India”s elections
- North Korea does it to one of South Korea’s parties /politicians
- Lots of clients in Latin America for such specialists
The revelations of Russian (?) hacking (selectively) and leaking in an electoral cycle to favor a candidate which is more friendly than the other to them, could unleash a new era of cyber tactics. What is the central premise? Every party has something to hide, and each party has a foreign policy stand
If this was 1960, the CIA could have used the internet to bring down Castro (no need of poisoned Cigars)
Hacking Elections as a Service!
