So, to continue today's email flood, one thing I've been thinking about, as it pertains to cyberweapons, is of course, the original information virus of them all: DNA. First of all, I think it's pretty clear databases exist that are wide enough and complete enough (and covert enough) that a complete family tree of almost everyone in certain regions exists. Likewise, I'm pretty sure you (for certain values of "you") can take any given DNA sample and back-port it to a picture of that person. DNA databases are almost by definition hugely scary. I don't know if they qualify as "cyber weapons" in and of themselves, but they're close.
Interesting observation. I do not think that something like this kind can be described as cyber weapon, but it certainly could be a munition. A very powerful ammunition, if do you know as to use, but a munition. Probably a munition looking for a good weapon that can use it for the best : who knows if it may already exist in some underground magazine ...
