it’s true and we do. It’s a really astute observation. But it’s not because it’s a strategic move by NSA or CYBERCOM or DoD in general. We have more than enough bandwidth (both metaphorical and in the technology sense) to conduct loud attacks concurrent with other operations. Why we don’t is a pretty amazing reason: bureaucracy. Literally everyone i’ve talked to about it has told me it’s because of “authorization this and authorization that” and by the time they MIGHT get approval (rare) the point is already moot.
It also just makes us look incompetent in the field on the world stage IMHO. These brazen attacks by other countries have been extremely effective. Why not treat it like another sanction? We’re the big dick US, if they retaliate we can rereretaliate even harder. And yes i know that’s not a word and yes this is actually p4x from the story (can prove however you want)
