Sounds a bit like the descent into a perpetual state of war. Or maybe just a side effect of the global reach of certain tools. I would call what is described in the article about the F-35 spy incident "strategic warfare", or simply an intelligence operation.

Seeing either of the current colonial uprisings as "4th generation" warfare is questionable. It's just asymmetric and in that as old as mankind, or like Mao with a different ideological goal.
