Fortunately, there was no reprisal against the United States. But Kim Jong Un and his generals must have weighed retaliation and asked themselves whether the so-called independent hacker was a front for a planned and official American attack.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the world might not get so lucky. There will almost certainly be a major cyberattack. It could shut down Taiwan\u2019s airports and trains, paralyze British military computers, or swing a US election. This is terrifying, because each time this happens, there is a small risk that the aggrieved side will respond aggressively, maybe at the wrong party, and (worst of all) even if it carries the risk of nuclear escalation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image shortcode-img right full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wired-logo.png\" width=\"218\" height=\"58\"><\/figure>\n<p>This is because cyber weapons are different from conventional ones. They are cheaper to design and wield. That means great powers, middle powers, and pariah states can all develop and use them.<\/p>\n<p>More important, missiles come with a return address, but virtual attacks do not. Suppose in 2023, in the coldest weeks of winter, a virus shuts down American or European oil pipelines. It has all the markings of a Russian attack, but intelligence experts warn it could be a Chinese assault in disguise. Others see hints of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. No one knows for sure. Presidents Biden and Macron have to decide whether to retaliate at all, and if so, against whom\u2014Russia? China? Iran? It&#8217;s a gamble, and they could get unlucky.<\/p>\n<p>Neither country wants to start a conventional war with one another, let alone a nuclear one. Conflict is so ruinous that <a href=\"https:\/\/chrisblattman.com\/why-we-fight\/\">most enemies prefer to loathe one another in peace<\/a>. During the Cold War, the prospect of mutual destruction was a huge deterrent to any great power war. There were almost no circumstances in which it made sense to initiate an attack. But cyber warfare changes that conventional strategic calculus. The attribution problem introduces an immense amount of uncertainty, complicating the decision our leaders have to make.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad_wrapper\" aria-label=\"In Content advertisement\"> <span class=\"ad_notice\">Advertisement <\/span> <\/aside>\n<p>For example, if the US is attacked by an uncertain foe, you might think \u201cwell, better they don\u2019t retaliate at all.\u201d But this is a losing strategy. If President Biden developed that reputation, it would invite even more clandestine and hard-to-attribute attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers <a href=\"https:\/\/home.uchicago.edu\/bdm\/PDF\/deterrence.pdf\">have worked on this problem<\/a> using game theory, the science of strategy. If you\u2019ve ever played a game of poker, the logic is intuitive: It doesn\u2019t make sense to bluff and call none of the time, and it doesn\u2019t make sense to bluff and call all of the time. Either strategy would be both predictable and unimaginably costly. The right move, rather, is to call and bluff <em>some<\/em> of the time, and to do so unpredictably.<\/p>\n<p>With cyber, uncertainty over who is attacking pushes adversaries in a similar direction. The US shouldn\u2019t retaliate none of the time (that would make it look weak), and it shouldn\u2019t respond all of the time (that would retaliate against too many innocents). Its best move is to retaliate <em>some<\/em> of the time, somewhat capriciously\u2014even though it risks retaliating against the wrong foe.<\/p>\n<p>The same logic guides potential attackers. Knowing the US won\u2019t retaliate all of the time and might even punish the wrong country creates an incentive to take electronic risks\u2014ones they would never take with a missile.<\/p>\n<p>These risks have been around for decades, but 2023 is different in two ways. One, obviously, is Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine\u2014a large-scale, drawn-out conflict on the Russia-NATO frontier, where the US and Western Europe are actively supporting one side (in what may look, to Russia, increasingly like a proxy war). The world is the closest it\u2019s been to a Great Power war in decades.<\/p>\n<p>Add to this the rising tensions between the US and China. Amidst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/08\/09\/business\/china-xi-jinping-united-states-taiwan.html?referringSource=articleShare\">strident Chinese rhetoric, growing nationalistic sentiment<\/a>, American provocations, and Chinese naval maneuvers hides a sobering fact: For the first time ever, Chinese military investment means that it is capable of taking on the West in the South China Sea. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/china\/2021-06-03\/china-taiwan-war-temptation\">Many experts expect a Chinese invasion of Taiwan in the next decade<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>2023 will be a tremendously fragile moment in history. What if the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or Kim Jong Un decide it\u2019s in their interest to launch an attack disguised as China? What if extremist factions in the US or Chinese militaries decide they\u2019d like to risk a provocative attack? Any misstep could be escalatory, against nuclear armed foes. And unlike previous decades, all sides have a new and dangerous tool\u2014cyber warfare\u2014that complicates the normal pursuit of peace.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story originally appeared on <a
