People who live in glass houses ...

> The (russian) President added that Russia stands accused of ten attacks on US entities, but sent 45 complaints about US-sourced attacks to Washington in 2020 and another 35 so far in 2021.

It does seem to me that the americans are far more concerned with their own cyber-vulnerabilities that the russians are with theirs. Even though the solution is entirely (OK, maybe not entirely) within their own control. It seems to me that if the SIX TRILLION DOLLAR MAN can toss around such huge sums as part of his "plans" for the USA, then it wouldn't take a particularly large portion of that money to build up the electronic defences of those 16 "specific entities" that seem to present the hacking world with a list of easy targets.

And for those that cannot be secured, at least take the obvious measures and remove them from harm's way by getting them off the public internet.
