Actividades
de espionaje llevadas a cabo en el ciberespacio o utilizando el ciberespacio
como medio.
Some of the most advanced
and persistent cyber attacks on governments and critical infrastructure
worldwide are thought to originate from foreign military and intelligence
services or organised criminal groups. Media organisations around the world are
reporting attacks on government systems, national infrastructure and businesses
that have resulted in access to commercially sensitive information,
intellectual property and state or trade secrets.[CSS NZ:2011]
Cyber attacks directed
against the confidentiality of an IT system, which are launched or managed by
foreign intelligence services, are called cyber espionage. [CSS DE:2011]
Activities conducted in the
name of security, business, politics or technology to find information that
ought to remain secret. It is not inherently military.
