Global IR in a Fragmented World
summary
Nation-state espionage dominates over cyberwar, with examples from Titan Rain (2003), GhostNet (2009) and Stuxnet (2010) and recent Exchange vulnerability caused massive collateral damage as criminals and ransomware exploit leaked bugs. International bodies produce nonbinding rules — UN GGE norms, 11 responsible-state norms in 2015 and UN open-ended talks — that explicitly say states agreed to norms protecting CERTs and urge responsible vulnerability handling. Attribution remains hard, core infrastructure should be off-limits, and tools like tcpdump must not be criminalized.
