So are you suggesting that there's nothing to worry about and that everyone should carry on as if the threat environment hasn't changed?

I suggest that you don't buy the hype and the bullshit. All this China/Russia stuff... It's nothing new, and it's not like the US doesn't do the same, and worse.

And yet here we are, talking about the russians "hacking elections" and the chinese stealing "economic secrets", the first topic, pushed by infosec companies that also have political-economic interests, is being presented without any proof whatsoever, and the second topic clearly showing the level of paranoia in which US people live (IIRC, some espionage cases involving chinese citizens were proven in court to be false).

Perhaps US people and their govt should care more about their own people being extremely greedy and true psychopaths before judging foreign govts and nations...
