Why the U.S. Is Vulnerable to an Iranian Cyberattack | WSJ

[@knmfujiwara]

You hack others - others hack you. If you can't take a punch then don't throw it.

[@MILINATION]

so cyber attack is an economic weapon but sanctions with real effects is not a weapon but an economic tool, ok i got it

[@drpk6514]

Nice one..

[@chilledrush9664]

Stop the economic terrorism on Iran

[@Tayaan]

Of Course Iran is going to have better cyber capabilities if they have been facing cyber attacks for years

They probably know more about Stuxnet than everyone except the people who made it.

[@Jonathan-m8n]

They have nothing now they got shut down n all destroyed.

[@ApplicoInc]

Anyone wanting to learn more about this should definitely check out the documentary Zero Days 📺. While strengthening our defenses (both in government and corporate spheres) against these kinds of attacks is never a bad idea, this video seems to leave out the fact that in the US we are very much so engaging offensively on the cyber warfare front.

[@Aamie]

But Iran wasn't allowed to have nuclear weapons because they said so

[@mindyourbusiness241]

Exactly US does cyber attacks as well. They destroyed Iran’s nuclear program with malware. I don’t know what’s more dangerous than that.

[@kenlewis2253]

fafar gol - we are not terrorists, we are bullies. The difference is that terrorists are weaker and they use scare tactics and bullies do everything visibly as a sign of their strength. Terrorism is for nations/people without sophisticated weapons.

[@kenlewis2253]

So what kind of cyber attacks is the US currently doing?

[@kenlewis2253]

@arsacesofconcobar - whose crying? My only opinion is that if I were Iran I'd be VERY careful to take action discreetly, because if it is traceable it'll justify bombing Tehran in the minds of the GOP. One has to be skillful in handling a bully. I wish them luck in navigating this difficult situation as any attempt for justice can backfire hard.

[@vesperone3905]

Dont forget about me

[@ioan_jivan]

Let's not forget why Iran is attacking the U.S., if it is attacking them.

[@blava3155]

The U.S always think in terms of arsenal and mass destruction by the conventional weapons. Meanwhile, many countries like China, Russia, and Iran have understood the power of destruction by cyber means and know that it's the future.

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

Cyberwarfare will only cause them to be destroyed by our bombs. Computers still don't beat explosives.

[@Mrparsa83]

The fact is the U.S. will always be behind even though they fool themselves into believing they're the absolute power of planet. The U.S. being hypocrite by always trying to control the world and telling other countries what to do and what not, what to have and what not but they can do as the please. As long as they underestimate other countries they will be the centre of hate and attack. Being nice is a CHOICE

[@anon69_q]

The fact you know if an attack came from China, Russia or Iran within hours of not minutes is testament to US cyber capabilities. The fact that US cyber attacks are rarely observed, and are often discovered months to years after the start of an attack is testament to the US offensive cyber capabilities.

[@solarpark]

As you hit Iran, Iran will respond accordingly. And what you have experienced has been just a small sample of what Iran is capable of.

[@RecordsLotus_]

Imagine how much money could be made by all if there was peace and people did business instead of attack eachother. Makes you wonder why the people in power never change and the war never ends.

[@ParadoxRoyal]

War is very profitable for the already powerful countries, unfortunately.

[@RecordsLotus_]

@@ParadoxRoyal Ah, so the people in power are satisfied with the endless war forcing poor people to die for them because they and their friends who make the oil and the weapons get to stay in power.

[@ParadoxRoyal]

@@RecordsLotus_ Yep. You got it.

[@PSL416]

A world of peace relies on every individual to be peaceful. It’s impossible

[@RecordsLotus_]

@@PSL416 It's obvious tho, that the people in power arent even trying for peace. Seems the masses, the 99% (which is ruled over by the 1%) are divided, fighting eachother, set up by the ones in power, instead of doing business and commerce.

This video is the propaganda lol

[@adverseofnone]

Its funny and depressing at the same time that, If WSJ was iran based media corporation this news would be same but other way around only the victim would change

[@udith]

Iran should lead the middle East to a brighter future. Hail Eurasia!

[@Xzellent]

Peace in Iran !

[@CheeseBae]

OK, but the USA can just do the same thing to Iran, and probably more effectively. Doesn't seem like the best strategy.

[@joshuabuchtel2346]

Maybe start asking yourselves why your financial institutions want a war with Iran so badly.

[@auro1986]

can you defend anyone from microsoft, google, amazon and those "social" networks?

[@82boulou]

So you damage their Nuclear facility and then act like what's wrong with bad Iran ? The American sense of entitlement and exceptionalism is truly sick , this nation needs a shock to wake up and start believing that other nations with similar rights exist on this planet .

[@anon69_q]

@@hamidirani8258 My friend, the US and the majority of Americans have never wanted to rule the world. Ever since the 1890s there has been a significant push against US imperialism among Americans with much of the movement’s roots started as far back as 1820. These sentiments have only grown. If the US ever wanted to take over the world it would have happened after WWII when the US was the only nation with the atomic bomb, or during the 90s when the US first became the only superpower. I hope Iran becomes a leader on the world stage, however I can’t see them doing that as a theocracy. Iran’s support of Russia is short sighted. The growth in the Iranian military industrial complex won’t be worth the enemies they made in Europe. Russia is a terrible ally, and will try to betray Iran the movement their interests no longer align. Iran as a democracy would see unprecedented growth.

[@hamidirani8258]

@@anon69_q we trust nobody. We have cooperation both countries under sanctions. Iran has its own weapons and they are very effective. We build everything we need under 40 year sanctions! Actually our allies are who we arms them in Iraq, Suriya, Yemen, Lebanon and many more with every weapons. Iran do everything in everywhere in Asian, Africa and Sud American, but silence .

[@matinskinhead]

Terror? You mean millitant / guerilla / millita network? Terrorist is a subjective word that has emotion attached to it and shouldn't be used when being serious and professional. If Iranian backed anti Isis millitias made up of Syrian and Iraqi countrymen are terrorists, then what does that make the Syrian Islamist rebels armed by the USA under Operation Timber Sycamore?
