#2 As if we don't know this hacking is taking place? The Norks even are reported to have an advanced cyberforce, although they are reported to be using tandy hardware from 1985.
Seriously though, I bet we're spending considerable efforts defending our e-infrastructure.
Another half ass "we're digging deep" strategy page scare story to generate subscribers?

#4 Although I'm confident that we'll never hear about it, we all can be sure that our military is preparing some pretty nasty forms of reprisal. This sort of exploratory cyber-spying has to have a severe price tag attached to it.

#5 (1) Old news ... c.f. the Red Lion attack around the time we were getting ready to go into Iraq.

(2) The single largest cadet activity at West Point is the student chapter of ACM's SIGSAC (special interest group, security). One of their annual events is a several-day Cyber Defense Exercise against the other service academies, with NSA running the competition and judging.

The first year, NSA left a minor door open on the unclassified server from which they ran the competition. The West Point cadets owned that machine in the first few hours. Heh.

(3) West Point was the first under-graduate institution to be awarded NSA designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education in 2001 and renewed in 2004.

Bottom line: it's not news and a lot is going on to create a capability of our own.
