New York Times: Pentagon Announces New Strategy for Cyberwarfare
SAN FRANCISCO — The Pentagon on Thursday took a major step designed to instill a measure of fear in potential cyberadversaries, releasing a new strategy that for the first time explicitly discusses the circumstances under which cyberweapons could be used against an attacker, and naming the countries it says present the greatest threat: China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.
The policy, announced in a speech at Stanford University by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter, represents the fourth time in four months that the Obama administration has named suspected hackers or announced new strategies designed to raise the cost of cyberattacks.

WNU Editor: I always thought the NSA would end up being responsible for cyber warfare .... but apparently the Pentagon wants to be involved.

United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) is an armed forces sub-unified command subordinate to United States Strategic Command. The command is located in Fort Meade, Maryland
It has been around a decade or so.
People or organizations do not willingly give up stuff.
Not only that, but the NSA comes under DOD.
