Information Warfare

Informationskrieg (engl. Infowar oder Information warfare) ist eine Bezeichnung für die gezielte Nutzung und Manipulation von gesteuerten Informationen, um in der Wirtschaft oder in der Politik Vorteile gegenüber Konkurrenten und Gegnern zu erzielen. Dazu gehört auch die Beeinflussung von Medien durch gezielte Falschinformationen, Teilinformationen oder Propaganda mit dem Ziel der Medienmanipulation im eigenen Interesse.

Außerdem werden Methoden, die dazu dienen, "feindliche" Kommunikationssysteme auszuschalten und zu sabotieren, als Infowar bezeichnet. Dazu gehören z. B. die Zerstörung von Anlagen für Fernseh- und Radiosendungen, die Nutzung fremder Fernseh- und Radiostationen für die Ausstrahlung eigener Informationen, die Zerstörung der Kommunikationslogistik oder die Manipulation von Transaktionen an der Börse durch Interventionen per Computer, Nutzung privilegierten Wissens oder gezielt gestreute Falschinformationen.
