These are actual hostilities. The U.S. is facing internal political collapse and Russia continues to distract and further sow discontent through these hacks.

The Red Dawn style of hostilities is a relic of the past.



>>>Russia continues to distract and further sow discontent

Meanwhile, the Chinese hackers and those directing their Information Operations are laughing their asses off that nobody points the finger at China first, despite numerous high-profile incidents of military-industrial-political espionage [1][2][3][4], the buildup of a gigantic blue-water navy, and tacit long-term goal of rivaling the US as the global superpower (and unlike the Russians, they've got the economy and manpower to make that happen). Nope, couldn't possible be them. Must be those dastardly Russians.

This is pretty much the plot of the book "Zero day code". It's a good read.


Thanks for sharing! Going to read it this weekend.
