This article really opened my eyes to the different ways to fight a war. Traditionally a war is fought with men and guns. Never before did I think that countries actually attacked each other through cyberspace. Some documents revealed that not only have there been attacks on national banks but that the war taking place in cyberspace is fought almost daily. Iran has actually been responsible for some attacks involving US banks like JP Morgan in which they flooded their servers with data making it almost impossible to access account information. However in an attempt to down play much of the cyber attacks the NSA and its Iraqi counterparts attempt to work with each other but end up spying on each other while helping. This cyber attack phenomenon just shows the vulnerability of both states. This is an issue that is often overlooked but should actually be watched over carefully.
