The answer to the last part is "the US is probably in the lead or at least competitive to the lead."

Keep in mind that Stuxnet is generally figured to be a joint American/Israeli cyberweapon.

The US is clearly in the lead wrt cyber weapons, but it also clearly has the most to lose. Whether the lead balances out the increased threat is anyone's guess.

The common use of SSNs, the continued existence of Credit Card numbers, and the Equifax hack make me gravely concerned that the Federal Government is not helping us harden our cyber defense.
