I wanted to see what your professional thoughts are on state-sponsored hacks and talk a little about what our response as a Nation should be. I’m growing increasingly concerned with state-sponsored attackers and the damage they are doing to this Nation.
I first became aware of how much damage stat-sponsored hackers can do when China attacked OPM The OPM hack explained: Bad security practices meet China's Captain America
Then Equifax Chinese Government Hackers Charged With Massive Equifax Hack
The Marriot Marriott Data Breach Is Traced to Chinese Hackers as U.S. Readies Crackdown on Beijing (Published 2018)
And Anthem Member of Sophisticated China-Based Hacking Group Indicted for Series of Computer Intrusions, Including 2015 Data Breach of Health Insurer Anthem Inc. Affecting Over 78 Million People
The scary thing is realizing that China is building a data base of government and military personnel with details from an SF-86 form and correlated through credit and travel agencies.

My question is, when does a cyberattack warrant military action? Or should it? So far we are being reactive (it seems) making movement to contact without any real ability to pro-actively locate and destroy these attackers in the cyber realm.
