Дать сдачи

[tijd.livejournal.com]

Из вчерашнего выступления Джорджа Буша в Нью-Йорке:

America is experiencing the sustained attempt by a hostile power to feed and exploit our country’s divisions. According to our intelligence services, the Russian government has made a project of turning Americans against each other. This effort is broad, systematic and stealthy, it’s conducted across a range of social media platforms. Ultimately, this assault won’t succeed. But foreign aggressions – including cyber-attacks, disinformation and financial influence – should not be downplayed or tolerated. This is a clear case where the strength of our democracy begins at home. We must secure our electoral infrastructure and protect our electoral system from subversion.

С защитой от кибератак дело пока что обстоит неважно.В марте усилиями Ангуса Кинга и других сенаторов было принято предписание Пентагону подготовить доклад о стратегии ответа на кибератаки со стороны враждебных государств.

By law, Defense Secretary James Mattis is required to report to Trump and Congress on the military and nonmilitary options the U.S. has for deterring and responding to cyber threats and malicious cyber activity carried out by foreign governments and terrorist groups.
That report is due to Trump in four months, after which the new administration has six months to deliver its own report to Congress.
Mattis has said he wants to develop a national strategy to respond to acts of cyber aggression, though it is unclear if he supports developing a definition of cyber war.

Назначенные сроки для подготовки доклада прошли, но, как выяснилось на вчерашних слушаниях в Комиссии Сената по вооруженным силам, не сделано было ничего.

That report has not yet been completed, a top Pentagon official told senators on Thursday, despite the deadline that passed earlier this year.
“We will be submitting it to you shortly,” said Kenneth Rapuano, the assistant defense secretary for homeland defense and global security
“Shortly doesn’t make me feel better. Is that geologic time?” answered Sen. Angus King (I-Maine).
“If all we do is try to patch networks and defend ourselves, we will ultimately lose,” King continued. “Right now, we are not imposing much in the way of consequences.”
