Just as in other areas where countries use violence against each other's populations, it will be a question of the state defending its citizens.

Maybe, some day, there will be some sort of international agreement about what can be done and what must not be done. Like with ABC weapons.

There has already been such an agreement (The Hague Land Warfare Order, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Conventions_of_1899_and_...), but "cyber warfare" wasn't a thing then and thus not included.

And for this reason, the innocent civilians of third-world/underdeveloped/developing nations will be affected the worst.
