Reply to comment by Caladeutschian in Britain sounds alarm on Russia-based hacking group by Smithy2232

You know why a Russia hacking group is need, and not other hacking groups? Because Russia is actively fighting against world peace and stability. Whereas the US in undeniably invested in peace and trade.

It's REALLY not hard to see past this "whataboutism"

Seriously? I mean I'm definitely on the side of the "good" guys but to imagine it is only the bad guys doing the hacking is to look at the world through rose colored glasses. I hope "our" guys are trying to hack into the Kremlin and cause as much disruption as possible. And I also imagine they are doing the same in Tehran.

Hacking is hardly a problem. End goal is a problem. Worst US has ever done is wrecking a uranium enrichment facility. It's mostly Intel gathering ops otherwise. I'm sure russians are prepared to do anything. I mean... Russians lie and deceive and attack and kill and rape and pillage and then we have surprised Pikachu faces when people trust US more.

Oh ye of short memories - how long ago was it that the CIA were discovered to be hacking into the phones of German cabinet ministers including Chancellor Merkel?

They are all at it. MI6 will have been hacking the EU during Brexit negotiations.

That's what I'm saying. Intel gathering is just that. From russians I expect everything. Power killed to hospitals, wrecking electric grid and what not. They have showed they are capable to be reckless.
