"If a cyber attack produces the death, damage, destruction or high-level disruption that a traditional military attack would cause, then it would be a candidate for a 'use of force' consideration, which could merit retaliation."
So just hacking into a system would NOT merit an armed response. Might merit a retaliation in kind, however.
Also, not all cyber-attacks would be over the internet. Not all systems that are networked are reachable over the internet. The internet itself runs over other networks, but they often aren't reachable from the internet.
Why would you need heavy security for something that is air-gapped? If the Bad Guys (TM) get physical access you've lost anyway! We didn't even require passwords for access, because the keyboard was locked in the control cabinet. The only time it was networked was when someone hooked up a modem so it could be remotely debugged or upgraded. After which the modem was disconnected.
Many systems are remotely accessible, just not over the internet, and no one thought that heavy security would be needed. Even though those networks were getting compromised back in the 60's.
Just pulling the cable when remote access isn't needed is a highly effective, and often neglected, security practice.
They have my email because they are tech headhunters, and I was unemployed a few years back.

Testers (good ones, anyway) are vital. A good tester will find the edge cases that the developer never thought of, or the holes in the requirements that the designer never thought of, but that end users will inevitably find.
Theories for the leak centre on two possibilities: steam is flowing from the core into the reactor housing and escaping through cracks, or the contaminated material is leaking from the damaged walls of the water-filled pressure control pool beneath the No 2 reactor.

No physical damage was done.
That's what she said!
Don't laugh, that's already the law in many places. Where I live there can be no more than 4 unrelated people living in the same residence.

It hasn't been proven that the US and Iran created Stuxnet... Provenance is a problem the article you didn't read points out.
in the Slashdot obit story for Adams, I had comment#42.

Pull the other cable.
Not that one! You'll go blind!

"wiredog" is a description of my MOS in the Army, and there is an ISP with that name, and a retired Marine in Texas.
Oh come on, it's the obvious joke.
This.
Is awesome!

Consider the costs of coal. The radiological problem of the coal ash. The excess CO2. That cost, right there, is not being accounted for.
the you, the user of that service, are the product.

Can't trust those guys from Manhattan.
Kansas, that is.

Which is strange. The best price/performance is from buying Apple.
That said, my rooted Nook Color ($250) does enough tablet stuff for my needs.
Even Rusty doesn't post there anymore.
it deserves, being equated with goatse and all.
Rusty must be so proud.

The idea was pioneered on K5 about 12 years ago...
Or, from the Beeb:
