“The document orders various government agencies to prepare for offensive cyberwarfare operations and says the government will ‘identify targets of national importance.’ The article quotes an intelligence source with knowledge of NSA programs as saying the directive makes US complaints about China’s state-sponsored hacking ‘hypocritical,’ because the US has ‘participated in offensive cyber operations and widespread hacking.’ Some of the talking points in the directive were declassified in January, but the emphasis on offensive hacking wasn’t made public, nor was the order to create a specific target list.”
