- Military Escalation: Persistent cyber intrusions could be viewed as acts of war, leading to kinetic responses or cross-border skirmishes.

- International Isolation: If attacks breach international norms, both countries could face UN scrutiny or sanctions.
- Loss of Public Trust: Citizens may lose faith in government cybersecurity defenses, especially if personal or national data is leaked.
