Somehow none of this is surprising at this point. We've plunged back into the depths of the Cold War, but this time it's on the ability to stockpile technological vulnerabilities.

I'd like to say that this seems a little dramatic. There may be cyberattacks and tension, bit there isn't a weapons race going on.

You think that? The left is constantly parading the possibility that Russia used technology to influence an election. I'd consider that sort of thing very much a weapon

Long gone are the days of the commonality of physical attacks.
Why break Into someone's home to steal (money), when you can do It via your living room from your very own PC by compromising their online account. This Is a general statement, and by no means an Indication of malicious Intent.
