Report: US Should Keep Nuke Option for Cyberattack

March 6, 2013

The United States should be prepared to use every military option, including nuclear retaliation, in response to a huge computer attack, an independent Department of Defense task force said.

But the nation must determine whether its nuclear arsenal can withstand computer hackers, the Defense Science Board warns in a newly declassified report obtained by the Tribune-Review. In a full-scale cyber war, the board’s experts say, the United States’ weapons could be disabled or turned against its troops.
