> I got downvoted for saying that maybe it's time to treat serious ransomware attacks (infrastructure, security, health, etc.) as terrorism - as in the sense that they're a threat to the national security

Um. Terrorism is basically never a threat to national security.

Threats to financial centers and satellite offices of major intelligence offices that are part of the US intelligence apparatus such as in 9/11 are definitely threats to national security. Not sure if you were being sarcastic?

That's an outlier as far as terrorism goes. And even 9/11 harmed US power only by causing it to spend trillions in Iraq.
