The following statement is posted on 23 and 26 Dec 2014 - and should be relevant to this incident :-

Cyber-warfare is addictive - a tic-for-a-tac.

As each sides score success in hacking - collateral damages from both sides will become higher and higher - day-to-day operations are disrupted - unless both sides decide to stop.

Thus a war - is always a "lose-lose" outcome - as there will be collateral damages on both sides.

  So low-orbiting satellite - is a super-long-range signal.
  2G, 3G, 4G network - is a long-range RF signal.
  Wimax - is a medium-range RF signal.
  Wi-Fi - is a short-range RF signal.
  Bluetooth - is a super-short-range signal.
  
  Alt the above are "cables in the air" - and are susceptible to interception.
  So even Intranet networks - are also vulnerable to hacking, man-in-the-middle-attack - eg. rouge APs, rogue base-stations etc - with long-range antennae to pick up the signals etc........
  
  Thus a war - is always a "lose-lose" outcome - as there will be collateral damages on both sides.

  Thus when one started a cyber war, it is easy to retaliate.
  
  At the end, no winners - both will be losers.
  
  This cyber war - is like conventional war - no winners, both will be losers.
