| Ištrauka - The global peace and security are mainly endangered by the so-called hostile use of information and communication technologies, the politico-military aspect of which must be considered first of all.
It is remarkable that technology has gradually become a fundamentally new and potent instrument of destruction. It can affect governmental structures and military administration, industrial and economic entities, as well as social infrastructure. An extremely dangerous means of waging “power” war is emerging, and it may be potentially used as a part of intergovernmental confrontation or even become its main tool.
In its essence, this is a weapon, the destructive effect of which will be growing as it is being developed. Eventually this may lead to an omnipresent hidden use of such “weapon” with all the negative consequences involved.
It is significant that the agents using information and telecommunication technology for hostile purposes, their status (official or private) and liability for damage are impossible to identify.
Accordingly, we may state that there have emerged hazards that will become ever more serious in future. |
