THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT WE FACE IS...
The Power Grid being hacked/disabled if at war.
“If the grid went down for a long enough time…
90 percent of the U.S. population would die from starvation, lack of water, and social disruption. We are talking about total devastation.”
-- Ambassador Henry Cooper, Former Director of U.S. Strategic Defense

In this section, we will focus on major nation-state cyber armies but also touch on a few civilian ones too. Most nation-states focus on defensive cyber activities. Civilians, larger nation-states, and highly dedicated smaller states also develop offensive capabilities.

No More Secrets?
Mass Collection of Everyone's Data
Government - Commercial - Hackers
Does the U.S. Government spy on Americans and its Allies? The Official Line is: No. Un-Officially: Yes.
What it definitely does is mass collection of digital data on everyone, foreign and domestic. This opens the door for the capability of mass surveillance along with mass abuses. Does this help protect the public from bad guys? Yes. This 'mass collection,' if done by other non-governmental parties, would be considered highly illegal and criminal, yet they say it is being done for 'national security,' to 'protect us,' to 'keep us safe.'
Do Businesses collect, store, buy and sell your personal data? Yes.
Do Hackers sometimes gain illegal access to all of the above? And buy and sell personal, business, and government data? Yes.
No More Secrets. In Hacker-lore, this has been a dream - of an ultimate decryption key that opens all secure data vaults and secure communications. In reality, this same thing is being accomplished by other means. See the scene from the classic 'hacking' film: Sneakers (1992) with the famous line: "No More Secrets" staring Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, and Sidney Poitier.
What they do with this information is what can be both used for good or evil. While surveilling Americans and Allies is not necessarily the U.S. Government's primary mission, it does take place, and the release of such information does happen by rogue actors, hackers, and missions born out abuse of power.
Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
It is important to supervise and keep the accumulation power, apt for abuse, in check to insure the rights and liberties of citizens, friends, and allies.
