  1. Oh great, now we gotta worry about birds with computers too?

  2. Iran and affiliated hackers have been attacking Israel’s financial systems for years now. With parts of the credit card system going down temporary several times.

  3. I thought it was only about nukes and missiles? Well…

  4. Setting factories on fire and destroying all bank data ?

    Imagine what the enemy could do if they decide to wage cyberwarfare on American infrastructures and most importantly, financial institutions. If you think Iranians would be discouraged to support war with Israel when their whole life savings are wiped out, what would Americans do when the same thing is done to their savings ?

    Just today, Bloomberg reported that the Chinese won at EVERY SINGLE Pwn2Own tournaments, up until they decided to … not participating anymore. Instead they organize their own tournaments just for themselves, so any vulnerabilities they found would remain secrets to be used later.
