Geee Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Free Beacon: The president will be offered a “full range of options” in response to China’s cyber attack that stole tens of millions of records on government workers, the nominee to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Thursday. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, currently the Corps’ commandant, also identified Russia as the primary national security threat to the United States, and China as the second main security threat. “The cyber threat is clearly very significant,” Dunford said during a nomination hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Asked how the United States should respond, Dunford said: “From my perspective, if confirmed, my role will be to provide the president with a full range of options to deal with these cyber attacks, which is what the OPM breach was.” President Obama in the past has rejected plans proposed by military and intelligence leaders to conduct offensive cyber counterattacks on China, preferring a legal and diplomatic approach.
