Right on! Google was attacked from within China. Change.org was attacked from within China when they were supporting a petition to release Ai WeiWei. Are these attackers government sponsored? Let's hope so! If not, our predicament is even worse -- If relations between the US and China were to deteriorate, the Chinese government would try a plethora of other alternatives to meet its objectives, before escalating to full cyberwar. An independent, cybervigilante group would escalate to cyberwar much sooner. After all this, denying not just the possibility, but the very existence, of cyberwar, is wilful ignorance.
