Tiivistelmä
According to Pentagon, USA can consider an information warfare act as reason to use any weapons
suitable as recourse. At the same time they, amongst others, are already attacking countries that they
are not officially at war with information warfare weapons. In this paper we look at the currently
known information warfare weapons used and whether they are morally or socially justified. First we
define what we mean with information warfare in this paper. Then we look at the justifications used
arising from the societies or other groups which are known to have used information warfare. Finally,
we look at the possible moral justifications and their problems.
