Biden has been presented with options for extensive cyberattacks against Russia (nbcnews.com)

The battle between NSA and FSB/SVR shall reveal interesting glimpses of capabilities of these evil agencies in hoarding zero days!

> They said most of the potential cyberattacks under consideration are designed to disrupt but not destroy, and therefore fall short of an act of war by the United States against Russia. They say the idea is to harm networks, not people.

An interesting argument, but I'm not sure that Russia would see it that way.

When the US threatened sanctions, Putin threatened something like "a painful response to sensitive areas". I heard that as threatening a cyberattack.

So this may be Biden saying "You don't want to open that door".
