Abstract (lang="eng")
The article asserts the need for nations to hold one another responsible to stop attacks and clean up the cyberenvironment, as a policy matter as of September 2011. It explains that it is not official U.S. policy to hold nations responsible for attacks originating from their territory or conducted by their citizens, and mentions an example of national responsibility for cyberattacks in early 2012, after intrusions into the Google networks became public and traced back to China. It also introduces the spectrum of state responsibility as a tool to help analysts assign responsibility for a particular attack or campaign of attacks with more precision and transparency.
