U.S. and key allies accuse China of Microsoft Exchange cyberattacks

Well look at the conversations in threads about the US hacking. They typically discuss the international implications of this, how to protect yourself, and what we can do about it. Yeah, there's people that bring up China and Russia, but they typically aren't the top comment or a majority of the comments. The top comment in this thread[0] is the beginning of a conversation I'd like to see but one that is already being pulled away from. It recognizes the danger of these actions (independent of the country issuing them). It is not excusing the hacking by stating that another country has done it, but rather condemning it all around.

Those aren't really equivalents.

This isn't just a thread about chinese hacking, it's a thread about a US-NATO statement in response to hacking.

Anyway, who cares about convicting one or the other. This is about consequences. The consequences of whatever direction NATO is taking now are meaningful.. much more meaningful than the hack.
