My Way News - US: More than 21 million affected by government data breach
My Way News reports: "Hackers stole Social Security numbers, health histories and other highly sensitive data from more than 21 million people, the Obama administration said Thursday, acknowledging that the breach of U.S. government computer systems was far more severe than previously disclosed."

Comment: Cyberwarfare is no longer in the shadows. It will become increasingly difficult for governments around the world to conduct such operations as business-as-usual when their citizens start to feel violated in a very personal way. People will expect a response from their government and that can lead to the kind of tit-for-tat escalation that may trigger actual conflict.
