Nikesh Arora is the chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks, one of several leading cyber-security companies. He discusses how cyber-attacks by Russia and its allies have been increasing since Russia started attacking Ukraine-- and how he fears they will soon start to get much worse.
Oh, for the early 1950s, when there were no such things as cyberattacks, or the internet, or even computers, when Dick Tracy's wrist phone was science fiction, when the biggest concern was a nuclear bomb.

.In addition to increasing, its seems probable that attacks will not be mostly limited to Ukraine... and more and more attacks on the U.S. are likely.
I believe he has a right to be concerned and I do believe it will get worse. Time to turn our cyber attacker lose on Russia, Belarus, NK, Iran, Syria.
I totally agree.
And while we have some sophisticated defenses , we also have tremendous potential to launch our own attacks on those who attack us.
Seems that an international group of hackers has already set the rules, there are all in on attacking Russia and Belarus.
Thanks for that link-- really interesting article!
(I would seed it here but probably no one would read it, so I won't bother).
You don't think we already are?
This is a never ending game between countries now.
If we saw an opening to hit our enemies we would take it. I don't care what the conditions are. Our enemies can and will do the same to us.

I think those days are back. Looks like the cold war has restarted.
Notwithstanding that nations are so much more connected now than they were then, economically at least, you may be right.
On the plus side, Russia will need money to pay the hackers. Rubles are worthless at this point.
