The most certain quality of power is that those who seek it will misuse it. A second certainty is that an army of zombies will eagerly imitate their leaders. And so it is with “cyber warfare”. Government leaders routinely spy on you? No problem. (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/it-pro/security-it/alarm-bells-ring-as-power-of-data-miners-starts-to-compute-20130609-2nxvj.html ). Anyone from the janitor in your local primary school, to the supermarket checkout girl, to every fool called “manager” will now feel free to watch you through a crack in the door. They will hasten to be fashionable spies, and at the first chance snitch on you or your neighbour’s cat.
