Not officially at war (or even cyberwar) but... are we at war?
What sort of electronic shitfight is about to go down between major powers?
Yes. "Hybrid war" is still war.

Have been for a few years now.
Let's say China and Russia have hacked into FBI and CIA. It helps those countries build a psychological profile of the centers of power in Western countries. This can help in many ways. E.g. if it is known that Bitcoin is actually a CIA plot to transition the whole world into post-dollar economy, then China can plan ahead and ask its citizens to buy gold. But china started buy gold propaganda in 2002. Or as Putin says this because Russia has access to Epstein files.
"Western elites have been accustomed for centuries to fill their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money. But they must understand that their vampire ball is ending."
It seems more like an economic annoyance campaign or something?
If I were a country with this kind of attack sitting around and I wanted to use it for war stuff, I’d probably wait until a hot war had started. Destroy the freezers when everyone is busy making weapons or manning trenches, might actually cause a food situation.
