It's become clear to me over the past 5-10 years or so that we're in some sort of weird undeclared war on the Internet. Nations are doing exactly what you describe, and it seems there is little to no repercussions for them doing so.

I agree...it seems much more akin to sport than militaristic action.

Since sport is pretty much a direct offshoot of war, I think the analogy works ok.
