Re: Keeping the powder dry

Good point.

Though: 'Whereas a 1000lb bomb, a cruise missile or even a 300kT nuke is generally just as effective on its tenth use as on its first, a cyber weapon tends to be rapidly identified and blocked.'

There is another option - the best bits of malware get repackaged and fired back at innocent people (see ETERNALBLUE, Duqu and Flame amongst many others).
