all warfare is a two way street.
I am not talking only about arms and a delivery system – devastating damage can be done to a countries infrastructure, banking and economy etc.
a cyber attack can shut down a country. consider what would happen when a countries telephones and internet are shut down – or the global positioning system is off.
where do all those planes in flight go?
a little thing like a countries banks out of operation would throw it into chaos.
the iranians haven’t found an answer to stuxnet.............................!
I would hope every industrialised nation [who rely on computers] have defenses against such a sorte.
certainly a number of documented trial runs have been made against the USA.
no country is immune.

colin,
cyber warfare is fine when one has a delivery system i.e. embedded in arms sold to friendly or unfriendly countries to be activated at a later date if necessary. but cyber warfare is a two way street and I would think America is far more vulnerable to this form of attack than some of the less sophisticated countries. with the bugs one gets with relativity simple software let alone hi-tech, and the Iranians are no slouches at reverse engineering
