"The breach was 'significant,' said Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., chair of the high chamber's Homeland Security Committee, who, alongside his colleagues, received a classified briefing on the hacks. 'Clearly, it's very serious and something we have to address, but it's gonna take time,' he told Nextgov/FCW."
"Witnesses with backgrounds in national security and cyber policy told Senate Commerce Committee lawmakers that an offensive deterrence strategy - the act of hitting back at enemy hackers to disrupt their systems - would make China think twice about spelunking into communications networks and other critical U.S. infrastructure."
"It isn't a capabilities discussion,' said James Mulvenon, a Chinese cyberespionage expert and chief intelligence officer at Pamir, which advises clients about investing in China. 'It is absolutely a political will and National Command Authority decision-making discussion.'"
"The U.S. can 'take action to interrupt [cyber] operations' of foreign adversaries, added Justin Sherman, founder and CEO of Global Cyber Strategies, a tech policy and geopolitics advisory firm."
