nope. you dont have to use those offensive capabilities like the US did with stuxnet. Its like saying that since the US has nuclear weapons than they should go ahead and use it.
1. The
US declared cyberattacks an act of war.
2. US undermined this position with the Stuxnet and Flame virus.
3. Instead of working to make US interests more secure, the US government has worked to cripple and backdoor hardware and software. This makes US companies and infrastructure more vulnerable to attack.
4. US finds and gather 0-day exploits and vulnerabilities for offensive attacks, but fail to tell US companies so that they may fix their vulnerabilities....once again making them more vulnerable to attack.
America has been so busy with offensive capabilities and an cybe offensive arms race that they have neglected defense.
