> Wake up. We're at war.

With whom? And given that nation states have engaged in this sort of thing for years, and that the US/5-eyes/etc also engage in these activities, do you really want to turn a cyber/cold-war into a hot one?

The solution is defense-in-depth, with liability on the providers of software, which will require them to insure, which will raise prices, which will force them to address security as COGS which will force them to reduce their attack surfaces to reduce their insurance premiums.




Russia. That's not exactly a secret.

I didn't say we needed to turn it hot. Where did you read that? But, I do believe this idea that we "shouldn't escalate" emboldens the aggressors.

There is no defense-only solution. Your profile says you work in IT, so you know that.

Why are you against punishing/deterring the aggressors?
