Even a cyber-attack would take 12 to 40 minutes to be deployed and that is just the light transit time, more than enough time to shutdown or secure all Martian communications in the case of a new Declaration of Independence.
That isn't the problem. I don't even know what kind of cyber-attack you imagine happening or possible, but the real problem is the infiltrators you mentioned. They will make sure they are represented among the colonists, and create internal strife and controversy when necessary. No attack from Earth needed.
Once some technology is discovered that allows transit to mars in under a week, the power that be will allow colonization of Mars to proceed.
I believe that's one of the reasons Musk thinks Mars is a good choice to start interplanetary colonization. It has a sufficient "air-gap" from Earth to allow eventual independence. Unlike the moon which is easily dominated.

mars does not need the weak
