"If you want to think military, suppose somebody's been shelling my assets, so I return fire and try to knock out their guns. Is that defense or offense" I get that this is a metaphor, and what I say might be obvious. But there's several actual wars in which Russia is actively involved in right now. It is both tactless and confusing to talk about weapons as a metaphor for cybersecurity. I know that we software devs like to think of cyber as a battlefield, we are attacked all the time, and yes there are real consequences. But cyber attacks are not powder attacks. And there is no necessity that whatever happens in the cyber field occurs in the same directions and magnitudes as it does on the actual battlefields. Would you be concerned if the state of russia considers mcdonalds not to be a threat to russia? Would you be concerned if they decided it was? Or would petty quarrels in the business domain have no bearing on the war domain?
