And while the recent attacks are a significant indicator of what might be in store as tension with Russia escalates, this is just the start of publicly acknowledged cyber warfare. Further, what we are seeing now is not even the worst case scenario as future attacks will likely go beyond embarrassing government documents, beyond wreaking havoc in elections and instead target citizens directly.

As we saw last year in Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s power grid, governments with aggressive cyber initiatives have unprecedented, direct power over the citizens of other nations. Nations like Russia, China and the U.S. likely already have a stronghold on some aspect of each other’s critical infrastructure. This could mean energy grids and oil plants, or it could mean nuclear power facilities—it’s all dependent on the weapons lurking below the surface.
