Summary/Abstract: Cyber intervention, like its physical counterpart, could take various forms and reach varying degrees of intensity. It could be used to break into sensitive governmental and other critical websites with the purpose of interfering with governmental communications, manipulating key economic and financial activities, or planting malware designed to degrade or shut down essential governmental and other key services at a moment of the intervening State’s choosing.
