I just saw it on a news network.

Someone proclaimed that the US is ready to get on the offensive. Whatever that means.

I'm more amazed that critical infrastructure is physically linked to the internet at all.

All classified data networks in the US military have an air-gap between them and unclassified networks.

The US, the Chinese, and anyone else with a reasonable level of government, have all been hacking each other since before the internet existed. People have been worried about this for a while. For a well-known example, just look at Wired in 1997:

quote:

Consider this litany. From former National Security Agency director John McConnell: "We're more vulnerable than any other nation on earth." Or former CIA deputy director William Studeman: "Massive networking makes the US the world's most vulnerable target" ("and the most inviting," he might have added). Or former US Deputy Attorney General Jaime Gorelick: "We will have a cyber equivalent of Pearl Harbor at some point, and we do not want to wait for that wake-up call."
