A digital attack would be an act of war, though, so...
Not necessarily.
It could be something as simple as "oops, someone downloaded a file they shouldn't have, and now all the systems of the power grid in a quarter of the country has been encrypted by ransomware"
If the July 19th Crowdstrike incident had affected Linux rather than Windows, the impact would have been orders of magnitude worse.

No, digital attacks happen all the time, nobody will go to war over it.
