If a "cyber attack" is something that can be seen as an initiation of aggression, aren't most Western governments in war with their own citizens?
NSA has even named it's covert programs after civil war battles. Namely Bullrun and Manassas. Also GCHQ (NSA's British counter-part) has named it's program similair to bullrun as Edgehill (A battle in First English Civil War).
