The US may soon classify major cyber attacks as acts of war, which may face possible military retaliation.Classifying computer sabotage, coming from another country as constituting an act of war is likely to be unveiled in Pentagon's first ever cyber strategy, the Wall Street Journal reported, quoting from unclassified portions of the strategy expected to become public next month.
The threat of military retaliation, the paper said, was to serve as a warning to foes not to mess with or sabotage US nuclear reactors, subways, country's electricity grid and pipelines."If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks," said a military official.
[The empire will now attempt to justify its military agressions on flimsy excuses of cyber war defense..how hard would it be for US to attack itself thru its network of hackers ,then declare it was Iran,or Venezuela or China or Pakistan?
