Cyber War Becoming a Big Thing

“Cyber war” by Patricia Smith is about the U.S. being attacked by China and Iran. Also, how the U.S. has been attacking them also. How China steals corporate and Pentagon secrets and how Iran wants to inflict damage to the U.S. by taking offline some of their largest banks. The U.S. however cyber attacked Iran and set them back several years on how to make nuclear weapons.

The article contains facts and quotes. A fact that surprised me was China and the U.S has conflicts with each other. It’s surprising because I did not know they were not allies. I thought they got along, being as though we always borrow money from them. But I guess that’s why they don’t inflict damage on us they just look at our secrets.

I think this topic is important, because we should learn that not only can there be a physical war but a cyber-war too. That not only can adolescents have cyber wars but countries can also. I think the U.S. needs to learn how to better protect their things. So in the future somebody from outside can never do real damage.

I can connect this with hackers. Hackers hack your computer and put viruses also. They hack your credit card information, and they can use whatever information they find on your computer. Some hackers want to do damage to you and your computer.
