ABSTRACT
I-War attacks are focused upon attacking a country's National Information Infrastructure (NII). The NII reflects the collective computer systems that make up the computerised military, government, commercial and educational information systems of a country. A new aspect of information warfare is the fact that electronic commerce (e-commerce) is developing into a key area of the commercial part of the NII. E-commerce sites represent easy targets to would-be attackers. Security is usually not as tight as in secured military systems, and these systems tend to be always on-line via the Internet. Any damage to these systems creates publicity for the attackers and losses to the businesses concerned (either through physical damage, credibility, or financial loss). Many organisations do not consider the security risks when developing on-line services.
