Is state sponsored hacking an act of war?

1. That's an interesting question

I guess it might fall under the same rules as other espionage activities? I mean if you were to sneak into Putins office and photograph a bunch of documents vs. lift a bunch of documents of his government owned website - there's no real difference is there?

That said Espionage doesn't usually lead to war because both sides don't usually want to broadcast their successes or failures.
