#152What is it going to take for the US to do something about the threat from Russia?
From the actual article: >The U.S. government has not blamed any particular actor for the hacks yet, but cybersecurity experts have said the activity bears the hallmarks of Russia’s intelligence services.

#153I have to wonder how many corporations have been hacked but we will never know, because they are worried about the value of their stock. This could actually be a much greater threat to hobbling our infrastructure or blackmailing wealthy people to do their bidding.

#155It feels like we're in the calm before the storm and nobody is watching the approaching squall. China growing in power and influence, flexing itself on the global stage. The US waning internationally, citizens divided and full of hate. We're factory-less, fab-less, and have fewer educated. Fewer consumers. Lots of debt. We have SpaceX, but China's pace of exploration and international cooperation is increasing faster…
I think China has been playing us for years, and doing so masterfully. There's no _good_ reason for the US, with our economy and standing, to be ripping itself apart from within -- but, indeed we are. Not only is China growing in power and influence, as you point out, it has been investing in American media and other industries. They're famous for playing their strategic game over a long span of time (the long game).…
Your bias is showing, and you're totally blinded by propaganda as badly as you accuse some others.

I worked for a company that had all their Customer data stolen and then sold on a darknet market place. They completely swept it under the rug, told the infosec guys that if they talked about the incident with anyone they would have their employment terminated and that it was to never be discussed because they were worried about their share price. We also have laws here in Australia that says if this happens to a bus…
Why not name this company?
Australian law provides almost no protection for speaking out against this kind of thing. Does not matter if it's true or not, it's still considered slander/defamation because you said something that makes the company look bad.

>I hope we're hacking back just as hard. That's what the NSA should be doing rather than domestic spying You really care about the ideals of "liberty" and "democracy" I see.

Why should the US claim moral authority? It’s the least moral country on Earth - stolen, racist, solely designed to funnel wealth to white men. China deserves it more than us.
US has been on the right side of many things in history, not all of course, For example, beating the nazis, USA did not invent slavery or the international slave trade, leading the world in charitable donations, etc. Take a chill pill
