Description

This is a security failure of enormous proportions – and a wake-up call. The US must rethink its cybersecurity protocols

Summary

  • The US has suffered a massive cyberbreach.
  • And now that the Orion vulnerability is public, other governments and cybercriminals will use it to penetrate vulnerable networks.
  • The reason is that, by international norms, Russia did nothing wrong.
  • If anything, the US’s prioritization of offense over defense makes us less safe.
