Cyberwarfare

Contrary to the claims of politically opportunistic representatives, so-called "cyberwarfare" never causes anyone actual bodily harm.

The geth models collectively dubbed "hoppers" by Alliance forces are electronic warfare platforms. They can project electromagnetic radiation across a broad spectrum as an offensive weapon. They can also perform cyber warfare attacks against the onboard computers of body armor hardsuits and weapons, adversely affecting their performance.

Many [computer attacks of Chinese origin] are believed to be linked to cyberwarfare units of the People's Liberation Army acting on behalf of state-owned, or state-affiliated, Chinese companies.
