A New Way to Win the War

The US electoral campaign and the days following the chaotic arrival to power of the new president have been marked by the emergence of several scandals related to digital information and security issues. Many, according to US press and national security services, identified as cyberattacks led by hacker groups directly linked to the Kremlin. This phenomenon, which had already manifested itself in Germany in 2015, also propagated to France where it threatened the ongoing presidential elections.1 Presumed links have emerged between French political parties and the Russian president's cyberarmy to the point that they could have casted a doubt upon the validity of the election's results to come. © 2017 IEEE.
