Cyber Warfare
1.) In our globally connected world businesses can become "victims" of nation-state political objectives including becoming the target of cyber warfare. There is a growing list of examples where companies are attacked to achieve military objectives. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) provides an assessment of various countries' malicious cyber activities. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) creates an annual threat assessment that evaluates threats to the United States from other countries, which includes cyber threats.
One famous example is "the world's first cyber war" (Tamkin, 2017) where Russia presumably attacked Estonian cyber assets including banks, newspapers, broadcasters, and more. These attacks crippled Estonia; its citizens relied on digital currency and couldn't buy food when the banks were offline. They also couldn't get any information on the banking outage due to attacks against newspapers and broadcasters.
