Since Snowden fled the US in May of 2013, the US has experienced an increasingly brazen series of massive cyber attacks by criminal groups and nation-states.  These include (there are many more not listed):
  • Target.
  • Sony.
  • The Internal Revenue Service.
  • The Office of Personnel Management
  • The Joint Chiefs of Staff
The reason for this is simple.  The US has lost its ability to deter cyber attacks.

Why?
