Cyberwarfare: Combatting Russian Hackers and Chinese Influence Cyberwarfare is a combined effort that often transcends national boundaries. Cyberwarfare is becoming an increasingly important tool in US policymakers’ toolbox. Established in 2010, the U.S. Cyber Command is the American military’s response to the Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and Iranian, and other actors’ threats in the digital realm. And the danger is real. In the last few years, the Russian military has displayed its potent cyber warfare capabilities during several instances. From interfering with the 2016 US presidential election to meddling in several European independence referenda (for example, in Catalonia and Scotland) to hijacking the recent social unrest to sow division in the American society, Russian hackers, a combination of troops, intelligence officers, and civilians, have proved their danger.
