The same thing that has plagued the U.S. DoD since the advent of USB, but there's no denying that the U.S. is an _extremely_ competent cyber-actor.

Attacking is often easier than defense. How many countries that have ICBMs can reliably block incoming ICBMs?

Either, really. Very few have the ability even in theory, whether anyone could intercept a bunch of ICBMs launched "in anger" seems questionable. Seems like an apt analogy talking about cybersecurity defenses.

Well yeah, that’s what I mean. I’m not convinced any of these actually work.

It seems defense is harder than offense in this context.
