Pentagon: Cyberattacks Are ‘Acts of War’

The Pentagon will soon issue a new strategy declaring that cyberattacks from foreign countries are “acts of war,” which means the U.S. could retaliate with a military response. The policy is vague, however, when it comes to cyberattacks from nonstate actors; nor does it say what level of cyberattack will require a military response. Pentagon officials say the move is just part of a larger strategy that is being designed.
