2 The terms “cyber attacks” and “cyber operations” are used throughout the report in a technical (mainstream or colloquial) sense and not as they may be understood under IHL, unless specifically stated.

3 Under IHL, “attack” has a specific meaning which would not encompass all cyber operations that are referred to as cyber attacks in a colloquial sense.
