#2Just as covid seemed to hit many with little warning and little preparation, serious cyberattacks will at some point too.
Nations need to have more preparation, funding, and simulations, for potential large future cyberattacks before one causes significant destruction.

They simulate all of them, still screw it up when it happens. 9/11 was simulated, pandemic was simulated, etc.

#4Should the international laws be amended to consider state-led cyber attacks an act of war in additional to traditional aggression? Seems like UN Security Council should deal with these matters.

Not to mention hacking attribution is extremely difficult. Read up on the “evidence” used to attribute the DNC hack.

What would the UN do with this? Quite a few wars in recent memory involved members of the security council, and the same would likely apply to cyberwarfare.

I thought cyber attacks generally were considered acts of war.
But what are you going to do about it? Start shooting in China's general direction?
