There is far too much talk about cyber warfare and far too little talk about cyber safety, cyber security and similar things. Maybe the DNC getting hacked is something you can laugh at, but there are a lot of other organizations where this is no laughing matter.
People have got to become more responsible about implementing cyber security, not just in DOD and HIPAA related organizations, but across society. To do otherwise is to accept incompetence and negligence as the norm.
And how can you know whether or not to believe anyone who claims that they know where the REAL source of a cyber attack is? There are so many non-state actors out there, not just Al-Qaeda and friends, that you cannot assume anything and you have to be sceptical about everything. Other wise you find out that it was some high-school kid whose goal was not to spy on the DNC, but to raise hell and make people think that the Russians are coming.
Hype and grandstanding do not lead to knowledge or understanding.
