Re: Anyone see a game changer here?

We now have (and have had for a few years) what appears to be nation-state hacking.  The differences are in targets and resources available to the attacker.

Agreed, and given that is more easy to aggregate bits of information from different sources to put together the puzzle it makes more sense for a nation-state to do so when they are pursuing information about advanced technology. Folks are concerned about the coming fall IETF meeting, without drinking from the conspiracy theory fountain, I'm almost sure that -unless somebody do something really stupid- nobody will have any problems, the host country will be delighted to have so many "technologists" with juicy information and experience under their roof and "surveillance."
