iWar is the term used by NATO to describe a form of Internet-based warfare.[1]
iWar is distinct in that information warfare pertains to issues of intelligence, whereas cyber-warfare and cyber-terrorism pertain to issues of extelligence. These refer to degrees of sensitivity in military and infrastructure assets, battlefield communications and satellite tactical assessments. iWar refers to attacks carried out over the Internet, that target specific assets within Internet superstructure, for example: websites that provide access to online services.[1]

The 2008 South Ossetia war heralded the arrival of iWar.[2]
