The line between espionage and attack is thin which makes cyber warfare dangerous. US government wants to make it clear that somethings are off limits to hack.

Fighting back will show that we will continue to be a national power. There is very little cyber policy regarding these attacks which is bad because if the hackers were able to do massive damage there wouldn't be a solid plan on what to do next.

Russia knows that they can't compete with the U.S. military wise but they are capable of hurting us to the extreme cyber wise. Our government is fighting this war in the mindset of the 20th century.

Governments do not understand that this new war can't be won by playing defense but by offense. These hackers are anonymous and the government can't fight them the same as being on the front lines.

Trump's administration accused the country that Russia tried to interfere with the U.S. power grid and water system. Russia has been continuously aggressive showing their dominance. The worry is how far they will go in showing that they can control our infrastructure.

It is hard to understand this threat correctly because it is constantly changing. We should keep a defensive stance but it has to keep changing so we can continuously be protected. What needs to happen in the U.S. government is that we need to always be connected with learning and information. The agencies do not like to share information so it makes our defense weak.

They are much smarter than us and could do serious damage because the U.S. doesn't have the same type of people fighting back. The government relies to heavy on being successful in the past with wars against countries and being a world power that it has limited itself with this mindset.
