    Pot calling the kettle black. Do we not remember Stuxnet? Flame?

    Not the same imo. Stuxnet was created to cause 'immediate' damage, aimed at one specific target, in one specific location, ultra-centrifuges in Natanz, Iran.
    That's something else than stealing/pilfering every piece of profitable/desirable data from governments and private companies globally by government-, government-related- or private hackgroups/orgs.
    Cyberwarfare is not the same as cyber espionage. Not judging what is worse but surely you can't say, it's the same thing.
