The article "cyberwar" by Patrica Smith is about the cyber war America is having against Iran. Iran has reportedly hacked the US's computers that contain information about oil the US is getting in Saudi Arabia. With this going on the US is in fear that hackers will access technology operated vehicles and cause the US sources of transportation to trash creating a disaster no one wants to see. The US also fears hackers getting into banks and disrupting the finical accounts. As a way to get back at Iran's cyber invaders the US had hackers of their own hack Iran’s nuclear plant and erases any information that might help them to get a nuclear weapon. Cyber expert Martin Libicki says, “cyberwar is not a replacement for conventional war, it’s a weapon added to the arsenal.” The US may be worries about hackers hacking transportation and banks but what about the their own private computers that may hole strategies on war and weapons. The US may or may not have many protection of their own but if these hackers are any good what do they think it will take foreign hackers to get in and get information that could be used to bring down the US.  We may not even know when we are being hacked it may come as an infected email or and ad or even by downloading a file. Many times you get emails from people I don’t even know and in situations like these the best thing to do right there and then is to delete it because if you click on it it can be the opening the virus needs to get into your computer.
