Sandpiper and clam compete, fisherman profits!The war between Iraq and Israel has helped the Chinese side a lotThe Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been going on and shows no sign of subsiding, but is showing a trend of gradual escalation. Hamas's confrontation with Israel has always been backed by Iran behind the scenes. At the same time, the recent activities of another Iranian-backed armed group, the Houthis, in the Red Sea region have caused Israel no small problems. There is a good saying: "There is a debtor who has been wronged", and Israel directly approached Iran to settle accounts.
It is noteworthy that this time Israel has taken a different approach to dealing with Iran. Recently, about 70% of gas stations in Iran were suddenly disrupted due to cyberattacks, according to **. Subsequently, Predator Sparrow, a cyber group believed to be linked to Israel, claimed responsibility for the cyberattack. However, the Israeli side remained silent on the matter, declining to comment.
Truth be told, this network organization is specifically creating trouble at this sensitive moment, and there is more or less Israeli acquiescence behind it. As for why Israel chose to remain silent, it is likely to avoid getting involved in a larger conflict. After all, the current situation of facing Hamas and the Houthis, coupled with Iran's constraints, is quite difficult for Israel. The choice of "cyber attack" is not only destructive, but also relatively restrained.
In general, this time Israel shrewdly chose to strike at gas stations. You know, gas stations are one of the most important social welfare programs in Iran. By creating such trouble, it is not only effective in creating chaos within Iran, but also, to some extent, "manageable".
However, what needs our attention is that this "cyber war" between Iran and Israel is actually a wake-up call to China. As you may have noticed, the number of cyber attacks on various countries and regions has gradually increased in recent years, and even Japan has not been spared. In July this year, China's Wuhan ** monitoring center suffered a cyber attack. And in 2022, Western University of Technology, one of China's "Seven Sons of National Defense", has also become the target of an attack by American hacker groups. What's more, at the end of November this year, Harbin Institute of Technology, which is also one of the "Seven Sons of National Defense", also suffered a cyber attack.
It should be noted that both the "Seven Sons of National Defense" and the State ** Bureau store a large amount of strategic information. These cyber attacks have posed a serious threat to our country. Compared with the rumor dispute, although the cyber war seems low-key, the harm it brings is no less than the rumor.
Unlike the transmission dispute, cyber warfare is not limited by geography, the cost is low, it is difficult to detect in advance, it is difficult to collect evidence after the fact, and the scope of attack can also be changed at will. It is no exaggeration to say that cyber warfare has become the mainstream of the world, and the United States is notorious in this field.
Back in 2009, the United States created a cyber warfare force. To date, the U.S. has developed more than 2,000 computer viruses** to attack and spy on other countries' cyber facilities. For the United States, this has become a commonplace state of affairs. From a certain point of view, the control of the global Internet is firmly in the hands of the United States.
As the saying goes, "the heart of defense is indispensable, and the heart of harm must be eliminated", especially in the field of cybersecurity, the experience of the United States can be said to be a lesson from the past.
This "cyber showdown" between Israel and Iran has given us a lot of inspiration. It not only sounded the alarm bell for China to strengthen network protection, but also revealed some blind spots that we ignored before. Closely related to the security of people's livelihood equipment, we urgently need to be vigilant against cyber attacks!
On the battlefield of cybersecurity, we cannot afford to be careless. As the saying goes, beware of "hurtful intentions" and don't take them lightly. The lessons of the United States in this regard have taught us that we must be highly vigilant against cyber threats.
The "cyber showdown" between Israel and Iran makes us realize that cyber security is not only a contest of technology, but also a battle related to people's livelihood and well-being. This incident not only reminds us to strengthen cyber protection, but also arouses concerns about the security of people's livelihood equipment, and we must not take it lightly and need to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.
