When a foreign adversarial state launches 'cyber 9/11' it would imply a few things:

1) The offending country is willing to escalate/desires to provoke skirmishes that may lead to major battles with or without conventional military.

2) The offending country is so desperate, the only way to reboot their economy is to start a losing battle so it can be rebuilt.

3) the economy of the offending country is so skewed at the top of the leadership, they are willing to thin the herd using foreign intervention, and build up a zealous supporter base who is out for blood for vengeance.

TLDR: The adversarial state will launch a 'cyber nuclear' attack when it thinks is fully ready to take the brunt of 12 American carrier groups armed with manned and unmanned stealth fighters.
