On Friday, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, threatened Russia after reports surfaced this week of the massive, frightening cyber attack that reportedly targeted the nuclear weapons systems of the United States, the Pentagon and the FBI.
Rubio tweeted, “The full extent of the cyberhack is still unknown but we already know it is unprecedented in scale & scope, in all likelihood ongoing & at a level of sophistication only a few nation-states are capable of.” He continued, “The methods used to carry out the cyberhack are consistent with Russian cyber operations. But it’s crucial we have complete certainty about who is behind this. We can’t afford to be wrong on attribution, because America must retaliate, and not just with sanctions.”
