Etymology
Cyberwar uses the same cyber- part seen in cyberspace and cybersecurity, which points to things happening online and in networks. A helpful image is a war of messages and fake news that try to 'steer' what people think, so cyberwar can mean coordinated online campaigns to influence or weaken public trust.
