Back up for a second.
1) Bot net attacks are a form of cyber warfare. I used the correct terminology, whether you want to omit certain actions from its bredth or not.
I wasn't saying it is not cyber warfare. My point is that we, the US, conduct cyber warfare every day against everyone.
2) I never said our financial system. I actually said it was against a former Soviet satellite.
You're absolutely right. Sorry I missed that.
3) I think it's pretty naive to assume that the Russian government wasn't behind such an action. If you want proof, then I'm going to disappoint you because there isn't any, and never will be. You know, that whole black ops/covert/espionage thing.....
Again, I missed that second sentence. However, I still don't count Russian cyber warfare against say the Ukraine as something American needs to be terribly concerned about.
