Clinton: Treat cyberattacks 'like any other attack'

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday called for the U.S. to begin treating cyberattacks like any other assault on the country.

“As president, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyberattacks just like any other attack,” the Democratic presidential nominee said. “We will be ready with serious political, economic and military responses.”

Clinton called for the U.S. to “lead the world in setting the rules in cyberspace.”

“If America doesn’t, others will,” she said.

The remarks, given during a foreign policy speech at the American Legion Convention in Cincinnati, address one the central challenges the Obama administration has faced in responding to cyberattacks.

Without any international rules of engagement, officials must weigh a response to each attack individually — with the result being that the White House has often been accused of not having an adequate deterrence strategy.

Critics say that a lack of policy has muted government responses to incidents such as the massive hack of the Office of Personnel Management, which Chinese hackers are believed to have carried out.

Clinton cited the recent attack on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), thought to be carried out by Russian intelligence.

Hillary is completely clueless.... She wants to treat cyber attacks like September 11th, 2001 or December 7th 1941. All because she got caught committing thousands of felonies.

Cyber attacks, viruses, malware, etc all day long every day all over the world you dingbat! It's done by governments, groups, companies, individuals all over the world including our government. China is probably the biggest attacker too. Does Hillary now want to go to war with China, Russia, all our Allies, etc.......?

This CONTROL FREAK wants to control the Internet all because she got caught committing crimes?

Why has the FBI not arrest her when her hacked emails indicate she sold 1/5 of the U.S. Uranium to Russia for 35 million dollars to her personal account (as if she owned it). If Trump had done this, then we would never hear the end of it. Instead the media is silent and the FBI plays dumb.

The truth is Hillary is mad that she has been exposed to the world as a total fraud as most of us already known for a long time.

She means with regards to Hollywood's thousand year copyright. She isn't talking about the control of the internet being surrendered to the UN at the end of this month.

Yes they are according to the Wall Street Journal the other day, and it’s illegal anyhow. Obama has to go through Congress first, and he will not because it will not pass.

So it’s illegal seizure at best. Will be challenged in court.

Oh really?

That’s why Obama is preparing to hand over control of the Internet, to the Russians, Chinese and Third World despots.

Hillary knows a thing or two about cybersecurity, indeed.

how hypocritical of someone that wants to give U.S.A. control of the internet to the global community later this month.

F Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?
A Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?
T Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.

Her shunting official business to a private server is a cyber attack. Clinton has attacked the US. (Do we have to talk about arming ISIS, Uranium 1, or her husband’s dealings with Loral? Just a few of Clinton’s numerous attacks on US)

“As president, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyberattacks just like any other attack,”

In other words, do nothing.
