“BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO agreed Tuesday to make cyber operations part of its war domain, along with air, sea and land operations, and to beef up the defense of its computer networks.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the decision to formally consider cyber operations a military domain is not aimed at any one country. He says the allies need to be able to better defend themselves and respond to attacks on their computer networks.

The decision has been long in coming, particularly amid rising tensions with Russia, which has proven its willingness to launch computer-based attacks against other nations.”

NATO-Cyber Attack-Mutual Defense-Russia
Those are the words that popped out at me. NATO now thinks it can launch a war based on the actions of hackers. Hum….why does this NOT make me feel more secure?
