(IDG) -- The U.S. military has a new mission: Be ready to launch a 
cyberattack against potential adversaries, some of whom are stockpiling 
cyberweapons.

Such an attack would likely involve launching massive distributed 
denial-of-service assaults, unleashing crippling computer viruses or 
Trojans, and jamming the enemy's computer systems through electronic 
radio-frequency interference.
