CYBERWAR

   In the article "Cyber war" by The New York Times Patrica Smith quotes "Are we facing a "cyber Pearl Harbor" that could wreak havoc on our computer networks-and our lives?" Most of the cyberwars are happening at the biggest sources where they have huge oil companies or anything else that U.S would need. The hackers picked one day they would conflict the most damage on the world's most valuable company. Saudi Arabia's oil company. In the article the biggest sources of cyberwar concern are Iran and China. Chinese hackers cyberwar almost daily but on the other hand Iran just wants to do damage. James A. Lewis a cybersercurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington said, "The Iranians were faster in developing an attack capability and bolder in using it than we had expected." Lewis also said "Both sides are going through a dance to figure out how much they want to turn this fight into." 


When the biggest sources continue to go to war then imagine will happen when things get physical. If they were to travel to whatever place they needed to go and have all of these weapons such as bombs, guns everything then attack us. Everything and everyone will be in danger family, peoples home, jobs etc. Death rates would increase highly. If everyone could stay under control and have a peace agreement it would be fine but I think everyone would be doing cyberwars because they might not know if they make a peace agreement they could turn on them and blow their whole town up.

  1. Peace is certainly the ideal, but unfortunately the world is a dangerous place and people will fight to get what they want. The question is should the USA should use these techniques to prevent other countries (enemies) from getting nuclear weapons? Or do you fear cyberattack more than nuclear attack? 80
