I am a sucker for all things Middle East. Not only the political and international relation tensions, but also the food, culture, music, etc.
However, one thing that has interested and provoked me recenetly, is a very silent war. A war done completely through computers, but also harming the United States' most precious security networks. The war is with Iran.
Iran's nuclear power is not its only asset. Its SMART country. Kids study almost all of hours of the day, and computer science and cryptography are majorly innovative fields of study in the country. With a plethora of youth and old professionals, cyber warfare is booming.
Network decryption, hacking into missile files, and damage personal information are some of the ways Iran is attacking the U.S. almost discretely. However, the true harm is that not only is the attack done on the national or defense level, but also at the level of personal computers and identity theft. Iran's leadership combined with the grandness of Chinese cyber-power, can only possibily result in utter chaos.
Colleges across the states are urging undergraduates to pursue the promised field of Cybersecurity. This push for more Computer whizzes in American soil is urgent, as the demand for strengthened securities is HIGH!
So let's think. Can we really wait long? How much time will it take for America's " binary" walls to start crumbling.
