Commenters warn World War Three would begin in cyberspace
Original: WW3 won't start with a bang. Turns out it’s going to be cyber after all.
Discussion is circulating around the idea that a third world war would not open with a conventional strike but with a large-scale cyberattack. The claim is that critical infrastructure, power grids and financial systems would be targeted digitally before any visible conflict begins. The remark is being shared and discussed on social media, with users debating whether cyber warfare has already become the opening front between major powers.
Why now: Rising geopolitical tensions are prompting people to speculate that cyberattacks, not traditional weapons, would be the first move in a global conflict.
