US government declares hacking an act of war, then hacks allies | WashingtonExaminer.com »
Revelations from European leaders on Monday that the National Security Agency bugged European Union offices in Washington and hacked into its computer network bring to light hypocrisy on the part of the U.S. government. In 2011, the Pentagon released its first formal cyber strategy, which called computer hacking from other nations an act of war, according to the Wall Street Journal. In late June of this year, WSJ reported that Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, released information alleging the U.S. government was hacking Chinese targets that include the nation's mobile-phone companies and one of the country's most prestigious universities. Now that EU offices have been hacked by the U.S. government as well, one must wonder if that was an act of war on the part of the United States. Source Main page (current trends)
