The revelation that Russian Intel (or Snowden working with Russian Intel) hacked into H R Climton’s Campaign Surveys should be both bad news as well as good news to cyber activists.
First of all it increases the demand in terms of jobs for legal cyber security
Secondly it pinpoints the need of security as an important component to decision makers at a time when they are most likely to pay attention ( oh ! My website got hacked! You got my attention!)
However the bad news is
Digital Assets of protected members would be secured by same agencies ( or different agencies) – a jurisdiction nightmare
Hacking into friends of friends, family after official government protection over is a crime, but when Govts hack it is difficult for a teenager /friend of teenager who hacked their Facebook. Ditto goes for Senate Staffers or Staffers combating cyber crime.
Will cyber crime and cyber war between nations make things personal not just business, due to the ease, low cost and plausible deniability

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
