U.S. woefully underprepared for cyberattacks

With the 21st century, America has to be ready for attacks to come in varying forms...what makes it even harder to prepare is the fact that we sometimes don't know who's doing the attacking. The article suggests that interestingly enough, the Obama Administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are using language more fitting to nuclear deterrence, in that the United States will levy sanctions and isolate countries that harbor those that launch cyberattacks. The case of China and Google is examined, and while Google traced the attacks as coming from China, the issue of accusing the Chinese government of allowing/spearheading them gets into sensitive diplomatic areas.
