It's all political, obviously. Start deleting the contents of certain bank accounts and start publishing their state and personal secrets. We obviously have the capability - best defence is a good offence. Absolute policy of reciprocity - if a pipeline stops flowing or a small town can't turn its computers on in the US, there should be a pipeline somewhere in Russia not working, and some Russian village with no electricity. Pull a Belarus and ground the flights of these hackers in Nepal, on the way to BKK, and pull them off the plane to sit in federal prison for consecutive life sentences. Last step is a bit much, but seriously no wonder these guys kick our ass, they make an effort.
