CyberWar Attack

In the article"CyberWar"Patricia Smith informs readers that there is a cyberwar going on between America, china, And Iran. Saudi Arabia's oil company, whcih is the most valuable owned company, was attacked and 75 percent of their documents,emails, and files were replaced wiht a picture of a burning American flag.

The U.S officials say Iran was behind the attack but some of the attacks are from China as well. China trys to hack American computers for imformation , meanwhile Iran hacks American computers for damage. Iran didnt just attack Saudi Armanco, The most valuable company in the world, they also attacked some of Americans largest banks. Obama decided to use cold name Olympic Games. This is the idea to "slow down  or halt Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program." America retaliated in 2009 with a sophisticated computer virus called Stuxnet. It wiped out a fifth of Iran's centrifuges, which used to make nuclear weapons." The notion that you can carry out a cyberwar and defeat the other ugy without carrying out conventional war is absurd."

This is bad for the people in the U.S. What does this means for us. What if they hack into the transportation system and derail the trains. I catch the train to school all the time. My younger siblings catch the train as well.

They could just kill us without letting the people in America know what happened. Will America continue to cover this up and hope for the best. Obviously if it is that easy to get into the most valuable company , what else can they do.

Is this a warning that this will turn into a war. A war that we might not when. What if China And Iran team up just to destroy us. China makes most of America's things so what if they stop supporting us. This cannot be good. Is America going to warn it's people when it goes to far?

  1. Good post. So do you think that the US should stop attacking Iran's nuclear sites and just let them get the atomic bomb? Are you more worried about cyberattacks than nuclear weapons? 95
