Don't forget the Pakistan/India cyber-skimishes. Substantial parts of
their Internet infrastructure was successfully attacked for months at
a time.
Periodically, China, Japan and South Korea seem to have rotating grudge
matches between their hacking groups. And in wars with bullets, there
was Yugoslavia and Radio B92 all-media attacks; and pro-Chinese groups
launched several attacks after the US bombed the Chincese embassy in
Belgrade.
There have been so many cyber-protests of many different US policies
for many years even keeping a list would be a lot of work. And even
some pro-US groups launching cyber-attacks to protest policies of
other countries.
