If militaries have any imagination, they already have this data for their adversaries' populations and have cyber weapons ready to do this quickly at massive scale.

I'd assumed that was the motivation for the OPM hack. Helps root out agents and handlers since they have SF-86 forms and biometrics, but also a massive database for identity fraud. Also helps with money laundering, which even richer states can benefit from.

Their first targets would be things like power plants, tv stations, and central network nodes. Sowing chaos is useful, sorta, but that means things are still usable -- and the OpFor can potentially hit back. Better off just silencing the wires altogether; hit the power plants, tv and radio stations, major telephone & data centers, undersea cables, etc.

If I had $40B to budget on cyber warfare I'm finding out how to hack nuclear plants or cause hydroelectric dam overloads, not tinker with the Amazon accounts of the flyover states.
