CYBERWAR

In the article "CYBERWAR" by Patricia Smith talks about how there is a cyberwar between the United States,China,and Iran. The article starts to point out different reasons why these cyberwars is happening and how these cyberwars could get dangerous.

For the article had stated, "Iran, on the other hand , is trying to cause damage. American intelligence officials beileve Iran, in addition to being responsible for the cyberattack on Saudi Aramco, engineered computer attacks that in September intermittently took offline some of American's largest banks-including Wells Fargo and PNC-and disrupted the online banking websites of Capital One and BB&T. Another from the text that was stated, "China's government, are believed to attack American's computers systems daily. Mostly, they try to steal corporate and pentagon secrets rather than inflict damage." The last example that was stated was that, "In 2009, a sophistcated 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 atttack as well."

I think that these cyberwars are very dangerous because what if one of the countries get sick of the United Stated setting virus on there computer systems and decide they is going to send a nulear bomb over then we all is in danger and will get killed. I think these cyberwars are really dangerous because China is trying to get our serects from our computer and what if they do crack our system I think they would have our serects and also like the passwords to our trains and airport route. I think they would mess with the system to where our ports would fly right into eachother and the trains would stop running while people is on them. I also think this cyberwar could get heat to where a war would break out again.

This article remind me of the time when I was on the computer and I saw a false advertising ad talking about of you click the button you would win a iphone and I had clicked the ad. by a accident and all I saw was my computer screen had turned blacked and all these green number start to run across the screen. So I had turned my computer off thinking it was just my computer acting up again and when the next day I went to turn my computer on it was a big virus in there. I cant get on the internet or even play my computer games, I was upset. I had told my grandmom what had happened and she had got a man to fix my laptop to where I didnt have the virus no more but from that day on I didnt click any of the advertising again. Everytime they appear I just X them out.
