The Energy Cyberwar is on!!!

Entering a new field in the clash for natural resources control: cyberwar. NATO knows it, as it is readying and assembling a cybersecurity task force exclusively for this field. China knows it, Iran knows it, and of course the White House and Israel knows it (Stuxnet redux remeber that?). We have seen recently many events affecting considerably energy companies such SAUDI ARAMCO, PETROBRAS from Brasil, Iran being affected by the Stuxnet cyber worm, and the most recent coming again from Russia, where according from a report by The New York Times, hundreds of western energy companies were hugely affected by a so called cyberhackers group Energetic Bear, allegedly supported by the Kremlin aimed at damaging and hurting the normal development of these companies in return for the painful sanctions imposed by the White House and Brussels on russian economy, specifically over russian energy sector as well as its financial. Nowadays, the cyberfield becomes the most relevant for world powers in the global struggle to control energy resources, since all energy (oil and gas business) companies are purely and entirely based on cybernetworks (data, industrial systems, facilities, wells, refineries, flow stations, control centers, data centers, situation rooms, etc) and without it, in one word, it would just not be the sophisticated and advanced business that it is today. So given this scenario and landscape, instead of armies, landmines, tanks, helmets, guns, AK-47, Kalashnikovs, nations and governments, as well as energy companies CEO's should have a massive team of engineers, cybersecurity experts, data mining, computer programmers and the likes to be prepared for this new and definitely the most feasible war that will last for the years to come. If not, ask the guys from ANONYMOUS, the Syrian Electronic Army, or maybe this Energetic Bear. Maybe Mr Snowden and Mr Assange were right about all this infowar situation.
