Q has said that the attacks will come from all sides; here's a side that few even mention. Perhaps a more practical view than merely a news/text article is in order.
First off, at the link http://www.newsweek.com/real-time-cyber-attack-map-shows-scope-global-cyber-war-352886 we can get a general overview of ongoing cyber attacks worldwide. As from the article, pay heed that the real-time attack display is less than 1% of all data transfers that are directed at only the NORSE company; even this display alone may be enough to lock up your browser if you try to view the actual real-time attack display at the NORSE website linked in the article. Yeah, hitting only ONE company…Extrapolate it from there.
Then recall that Susan Rice ordered our cyber-security agents to stand down on countermeasures just as Mueller's probe on Trump started. https://www.redstate.com/diary/ElizabethVaughn/2018/06/24/susan-rice-order-cyber-security-chief-%e2%80%98stand-down%e2%80%99-response-russian-meddling-just-fbi-began-trumprussian-collusion-probe/
I'm certain that this order has since been countermanded & reprisals have resumed, but Meuller's witch hunt MUST be ended & we can get back to defending ourselves & keep up the pressure with counter-attacks; the resources still being drained by Meuller's probe can be redirected towards more critical purposes.
For Breadmakers, I would personally recommend that we don't inadvertently aim large numbers of people directly to the NORSE website to try viewing the real-time display…No need to burden their servers any further by making them direct bandwidth to lots of people who just want a look.
