This seems largely speculative and unsupported. I think a lot of this comes down to "we declassified something where we did X in 1965 and Y in 1972, therefor it's likely we are presently doing A,B,C,D ..."
I think it's fair to accept that we might be capable of A,B,C,D, but unfair to assume it's already happening unless there's actual evidence.
As for "saber rattling," is this where we think this is going? This strikes me as the kind of minor skirmish between the superpowers we've seen for decades, generally intended to shame one another and court global support.
Finally, I would say that critical security issues and intrusions in utilities could become a big impediment to the prosperity of Americans.

And this list doesn't even include us tapping the German prime minister's phone line. Imagine our reaction if another nation tapped our president's phone line... Absolute double-standard. I think both sides agree that security is tantamount. However, the disagreement is on whether the solution to cyberwarfare is being more offensive capability or more defensive capability.
