A recent study shows that nation retaliatory hacking may not escalate as we thought. The Obama administration had a stance to not retaliate against counties that launched cyberattacks against the US, and they would implement sanctions for fear it could lead to a military conflict. The study shows just the opposite, it is rare that a cyber conflict will go tit for tat, or escalate to a military conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The article speculates that these findings may benefit the Trump administration as the US has recently launched cyberattacks against Russia, China, and Iran to retaliate or intimidate.<\/p>\n<p>An additional finding of the study shows that retaliatory hacking does little to stop adversaries from launching additional attacks. I have this vision of rival nations launching cyberattacks against each other and being wary to not cross that threshold for Military escalation. I assume all nations involved know each other&#8217;s thresholds? A very dangerous game being played here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/powerpost\/paloma\/the-cybersecurity-202\/2019\/10\/02\/the-cybersecurity-202-hacking-back-may-be-less-risky-than-we-thought\/5d939824602ff14beb3daacc\/\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/powerpost\/paloma\/the-cybersecurity-202\/2019\/10\/02\/the-cybersecurity-202-hacking-back-may-be-less-risky-than-we-thought\/5d939824602ff14beb3daacc\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting read here.
