If the United States found itself under a major cyberattack aimed at
undermining the nation’s critical information infrastructure, the
Department of Defense is prepared, based on the authority of the president,
to launch a cyber counterattack or an actual bombing of an attack source.

The primary group responsible for analyzing the need for any cyber
counterstrike is the National Cyber Response Coordination Group (NCRCG).
The three key members of the NCRCG, who hail from the US-CERT
computer-readiness team, the Department of Justice and the Defense
Department, this week described how they would seek to coordinate a
national response in the event of a major cyber-event from a known
attacker.
