Threats to trigger Article Five Over NotPetya

The NotPetya attacks swept across Ukraine and parts of Europe last week, crippling infrastructure and taking down the systems of major companies such as Mearsk. At first, many analysts considered it to be another cybercrime attack but as security services have begun to pick apart the events of last week the evidence is mounting that it was something more. Not without just cause, the world began to suspect Russia and NATO has already making begun veiled threats that they may be forced to trigger article five in response to the attacks. While it is nice that NATO is taking the threat of Cyber Warfare seriously, the threat to trigger article five amounts to little more than NATO saber rattling.
