The digital battlefield: How tech shapes modern war.

“Not every attack is visible and not every war is declared.”In recent decades, conflict has moved beyond physical borders into the digital realm. Cyber operations now have the power to disrupt critical infrastructure, manipulate information, and cause real-world harm without a single shot being fired.In this episode of Yours Lawfully, we are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Hofberger-Pippan, who brings expert insight into how international law is adapting to this evolving landscape. From the “scale and effects” test in cyber warfare to the legal challenges of attribution, we unpack how states respond to threats that are often invisible and difficult to trace.We also explore the rise of information warfare, where disinformation and digital influence campaigns blur the line between peace and conflict.As the battlefield becomes increasingly intangible, the question remains: can law keep pace with a war that is fought in code rather than combat?
