The concept of cyberwar has become too broad and its random use raises a series of doubts about the reasons behind the creation of such narratives and the genuineness of their claims.

It then explains why the concept has become so confusing and what are the explic-it and concealed objectives of the actors producing such narratives. Dissecting these actors and their objectives will help to shed some light on the issue of cyberwar, in order to promote better judgment and avoid dangerous fallacies in the process of policymaking.
