A lot of times, we have a pretty good idea of who is doing an attack, but we aren’t 100% sure as a lot of these things are difficult to prove. Yeah maybe it is a Chinese IP, but does that mean the Chinese Government is backing it?

We cannot go to war with a country based on what they might have done. Furthermore, we are doing similar if not worse things in the cyber world to them as they are us. It’s really just an immense game of Tug of War.
