The next kind of war.
Welcome to the Know the Difference Minute

Cyber-attacks and espionage are already a regular part of global activity. But, with US pressure in the form of painful sanctions, it’s possible we could suffer some blowback from a bad actor. The Colonial Pipeline, the hack of JBS, a major meat supplier—and the Solar Winds incident all come to mind.
