CyberWar

In the article "Cyber War" by Patricia Smith talked Cyber over the Internet and about the US hacking the Iranian nuclear plant and destroying it. It also say that we have a long history of conflict with Iran.

This article includes quotes from counter terrorism officials, and experts such as  "By the time the virus was stopped, it had infected and made useless more than 30,000 computers." I choose that quote because it seems like it shows how extremely powerful viruses are and it also tells  how many computers can get  hurt such as get infected with all types of viruses.This quotes also shows how this viruses  affected many computers around the world.

There was also another quote that were stated such as , "In 2009, a sophisticated computer worm known as Stuxnet wiped out a fifth of Iran's centrifuges,which are used to enrich uranium, setting back its ability to make nuclear weapons by several years. Many analysts believe the U.S. and/or Israel were behind that attack as well."

Well as for me I believe that this whole Cyber war is not good nor healthy for us nor the computers because we are using the computer and it can be a problem when you trying to use the Internet and the computer keeps popping up viruses that can be really annoying for us and the computers.


from what I read it makes me worried that these attacks will increase in the future, and it also have me scared beacuse I feel that the cyber attack is more dagerous then the nuclear attack.

  1. So are you saying that we should just let Iran acquire nuclear weapons? The choices for Obama are not exactly good. 95
