  1. No nukes or attacking NATO members or any other silly things like that! but the escalation is russian bots! Thats fun right?

  2. Absolutely expect attacks like this to come out when Ukraine eventually gets closer to Moscow.

    Not saying Russia is some world ending threat like it wants to be, but this whole attitude of “hahah, Russia can do nothing”, doesnt apply to hybrid warfare like this.

  4. I feel like the government should host a press conference and state that every time an incident occurs in the UK that they believe could be attributed to Russia they will hand over 10 additional storm shadow missiles to Ukraine to do as they please.

  5. This is pretty routine. Russia knows if it launches any major cyberattack that REALLY affects the US or its interests, the US and Israel can strike back with cyberattacks much more effectively. 

  7. Why can’t NATO countries do the same? Have they all neglected the cyber warfare aspect of the world?

  8. Cyber threats are real global security must strengthen.

  11. Can we assemble Matthew Bevan, Richard Pryce, and Gary Mckinnon to lead the counter-hacking team?

  12. Britts better prepare another letter expressing concern, maybe even a severe concern.

  13. All NATO governments should just post a list of known Russian IP addresses and their associated companies/systems (or even person), guarantee no prosecution for cyber crimes on those IPs and let the internet go wild. There are enough bored black hat and white hat hackers in NATO countries that if they can make a game out of it, they’ll cripple Russia over the weekend.

    I guarantee they can’t swap their IPs fast enough before some real damage is done.

  14. If the US lets the NSA take their gloves off and go full cyber warfare in retaliation on Russia, they will find out how far they are behind in that department as well.

  16. For the layman, what does this mean? I understand what a cyber attack is but on what front? Stealing data from government based systems?

  17. Can’t Ukraine target Russian network hubs? If they bring down some of their Internet connections then they can’t perform significant ddos attacks and might even bring down the Internet to certain areas, specifically Moscow. Cyberwar is still warfare, eliminate their tools of war.

  19. Russia under its present governance is a cancer on civilisation. What a fantastic country it could have been without these inhuman monsters in charge. There can be no rehabilitation until their system of government changes.

  20. So cut them off from the internet.

    Seriously. Act of cyber war? You’re isolated, now go sit in the corner.
