Cyber Warfare
The First Line of Attack in Conflict Between Nations
ACTIVE ONGOING CYBER WAR
The Russian Government has its own cyber army, but often sub-contracts with others to provide them with a level of deniability.
Russia also provides a safe-haven for international cyber criminal gangs to operate within Russia, so long as they attack Western democratic nations and their allies and do not attack Russia or their allies.
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
