James Lewis says there have been no cyberwars and perhaps two or three cyberattacks since the Internet first appeared. Lewis characterizes nearly all reported cyberincidents as annoyances, crimes or spying. Lewis defines cyberwar as a component of a broader, kinetic war.

Still, when using the term cyberattack, we must be clear what we’re addressing.”]
