Abstract | Cyber exploitation is a new means of intelligence gathering. It refers to unauthorized access to computers, computer systems, or networks, in order to gain information, without affecting the functionality of the accessed system or deleting the data contained or in transit therein. States employ cyber exploitation both in peacetime and in wartime since cyber exploitation often proves relevant both in order to plan and launch an attack and in order to gain information for defensive purposes. |
Keywords | cyber exploitation, cyber warfare, direct participation of civilians, espionage, international humanitarian law |
