The European Union will meet this week to outline plans to combat the threat
of information warfare against its nation states.
Following the
attacks
on Estonia, which crippled the government's infrastructure temporarily, Nato
chiefs have been planning how to cope if a similar attack was launched, either
in peacetime or during a war.
The Russian government was accused of the attacks on Estonia but has now been
exonerated.
The Council of Europe will meet in France on 1 April for a two-day conference
to discuss updating the EU Convention on Cybercrime to meet new threats.
The Convention has been signed by most European countries as well as the US,
Japan and Canada.
At the same time a Nato summit in Romania will look at practical ways to deal
with cyber attacks against member states. Estonia is pressing for an
international treaty to ban such attacks.
There has been growing alarm over the increasing use of online attacks by
some states.
The US has alleged that China is building a
huge
hacking army to complement existing land, sea and air forces.
Governments in the UK, France and Germany have also expressed concern over
Chinese hacking attacks.
