The Trump administration accused Russia on Thursday of engineering a series of cyberattacks that targeted American and European nuclear power plants and water and electric systems, and could have sabotaged or shut power plants off at will.

I suspect this happens all the time and that we do it right back. This is kinda like submarines pinging each other or Russian fighter jets approaching a US carrier.

I suspect this happens all the time and that we do it right back.

Exactly, and it's nothing new, to wit,

From the 22nd paragraph of the article:

"The United States sometimes does the same thing. It bored deeply into Iran’s infrastructure before the 2015 nuclear accord, placing digital “implants” in systems that would enable it to bring down power grids, command-and-control systems and other infrastructure in case a conflict broke out. The operation was code-named “Nitro Zeus,” and its revelation made clear that getting into the critical infrastructure of adversaries is now a standard element of preparing for possible conflict."

What is new is the laughable pretense that the Russians initiated this activity against the US.
