I am a critic of the US but in this case it's not as if Russian hackers don't keep screwing with the US power grid.

  But tit for tat responses are problamatic. Eg: Responding to terrorism with more terrorism is hardly going to lead to solutions. US supposedly does not operate in the same ethical-moral framework as the Russians.Is it even legal under American law to disrupt or cause damage to other countries property, while not engaged in war? I think the whole think smacks of extra-legality, and that is one place where democracies should not be going.

    You won't have much of a country if you let the enemy get the advantage. Sovereignty is maintained through force.

        Offense is the best defense. And simulations are not the same as the real world, especially for security.

  Free pentests. Fix the fact that they can do it in the firstplace and secure your systems. It can only be beneficial. Option 1: Use the intrusions to plug holes and learn best practices to apply across the industry. Come out stronger from it. Option 2: Escalate, fight back and ruin innocent peoples lives thousands of kilometres away.
