"We are spectacularly poorly prepared right now for a cyber attack."

Then we will deserve it. (Sad to say.)

Hopefully there's still MAD (mutually assured destruction). That is, the US has (I presume) a rather formidable array of cyber offensive capabilities. Anyone thinking of cyber attacking the US might find that concerning - hopefully concerning enough that they decide that an attack isn't worth it.

I mean, I'd far rather that that US had both offensive capability and a solid defense. But the situation is not totally hopeless - or so I hope.
