How conflicts of the future will be fought by hackers using cyber-warfare - including a virus as powerful as nuclear bomb

Conflicts of the future will be fought by computer hackers using cyber-warfare, an expert warns.

Cosmo Clark, a cybersecurity analyst and observer, says advances in technology have made every device a potential battleground.
