Does anybody wonder if these attacks aren't performing a public good in the long run by hardening our tech infrastructure in the West? It seems like hostilities with Russia, China, et al are likely to just get worse over time, and the long term high threat environment that these gangs have created for Western companies and utilities could give them a comparative advantage over time. That is assuming the same attacks aren't happening in China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc.
