In 2014 there was a Russian hacking incident resulting in the theft of over 1.2 billion internet credentials, including usernames, passwords and corresponding e-mail addresses. What was reported was a tip of the iceberg. This data theft was just a small part of the larger project of cyber attacks against American computer infrastructure organised by Russian Intelligence Agencies. In fact, even this particular hacking incident wouldn't have been revealed had Russia didn't want to check it's rival's reactions.

Since then, this project has progressed by leaps and bounds. Russians have been meticulously laying the foundations to strike at America's infrastructure, at a time most advantageous to Russia. USA would be caught by surprise. Russian Intelligence has been doing it's homework. CIA is not doing it's homework. While CIA is sleeping, the penetration by Russian hackers into USA's infrastructure has been extensive and deep.
