The campaign showed “top-tier operational tradecraft”, says FireEye, a cyber-security firm that was itself a victim. Orion’s ubiquity explains why so many organisations were affected. SolarWinds says that “fewer than 18,000” customers may have been struck, though most would have been collateral damage.

America’s ability to muster a response is unlikely to be helped by President Donald Trump’s dismissal, on November17th, of Chris Krebs, the head of the Cyber-security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), for publicly affirming the integrity of the presidential election. CISA has struggled to cope with the onslaught.

Over the past decade, America has tended to categorise and respond to cyber-attacks according to their aims. It regarded intrusions intended to steal secrets—in other words, old-fashioned espionage—as fair game, not least because its own National Security Agency (NSA) is a prolific thief. After China stole 22m security-clearance records from America’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in 2015, Michael Hayden, a former NSA chief, conceded that it was “honourable espionage work”. In contrast, attacks intended to cause harm, like North Korea’s assault on Sony Pictures in 2014, or those with commercial aims, like China’s theft of industrial secrets, were thought to cross a line. America has accordingly indicted and imposed sanctions on scores of Russian, Chinese, North Korean and Iranian hackers.

在过去十年中，美国倾向于根据网络攻击的目的对其进行分类和回应Ji~J]GDYeyf2Sa6)LU91。美国把企图窃取机密的入侵（换句话说是老式的间谍活动）视为公平的游戏，尤其是因为美国国家安全局（NSA）恰是一个多产的惯犯60aekc)og%(yLxq9]。2015年，中国从美国人事管理办公室（OPM）窃取了2200万份安全许可记录后，美国国家安全局前局长迈克尔·海登承认，这是“光荣的间谍活动”mpkn;vt*;4。相比之下，意图造成伤害的黑客攻击，比如朝鲜2014年对索尼影业的攻击，或者那些具有商业目的的黑客攻击，比如中国窃取工业机密，这样的入侵活动都被认为是越界的;U28^fr,6Qe[ENC]-K@.。因此，美国起诉并制裁了数十名俄罗斯、中国、朝鲜和伊朗的黑客9ka7PE+MH)Ki[R57.3c。
