In order to respond to these threats from Iran, Israel has chosen a different means than before, and they passedCyberattacksto put pressure on Iran. According to reports, about 70% of gas stations in Iran have recently sufferedCyberattacksAnd the service was interrupted, and this timeCyberattacksThe organization behind the "Prey Sparrows" has publicly declared responsibility. Although the Israeli side declined to comment, we can guess that there are more or less Israeli intentions behind this. Israel may be worried about escalating the conflict over Iran, as they are already dealing with Hamas and the HouthisArmedchallenges. CyberattacksAlthough it is destructive, it can still maintain a relatively restrained degree. This time, Israel chose to attack gas stations because gas stations are one of Iran's most important social welfare programs. Such an attack would be both internal and "manageable" for Iran. It can be said that Israel is very shrewd in its move to deal with gas stations.
This time Israel launched against IranCyberattacksAnd not only inMilitaryIt has had an impact and has also given us some enlightenment. In recent years, countries have sufferedCyberattacksis becoming more and more frequent, even in China. In July this year, the Wuhan ** Monitoring Center in China sufferedCyberattacks, and famous Chinese universities such as Western University of Technology and Harbin Institute of Technology have also become the United StatesHackersThe target of the organization.

Although cyber warfare is inconspicuous compared to the rumor dispute, its harm is no less than that of the rumor.

Iran suffers from thisCyberattacksIt can be said that it is a "cyber war", and now it is on a global scaleCyberattacksIt has become a mainstream trend, and the United States is even more notorious in this regard. As early as 2009, the United States established a cyber warfare unit and developed more than 2,000 computer viruses** to wantonly attack and spy on the cyber facilities of other countries. It can be said that the control of the global Internet is almost entirely in the hands of the United States. Therefore, we must take this as a warning and increase our awareness of cyber protection. The "cyber war" between Israel and Iran also provides us with a good reference and warning.

More worryingly, at the end of November this year, China's Harbin Institute of Technology also sufferedCyberattacks。These attacks pose a serious threat to China's ***.
Compared with the transmission of the first battle, cyber warfare has more flexibility and concealment. CyberattacksNoGeographyrestrictions, which can be carried out from anywhere in the world, greatly increase the difficulty of our defense. At the same time, the cost of cyber warfare is relatively low, and attackers can hide their true identities through anonymity. After the attack, forensics also became very difficult. Due to these factors,CyberattacksThe wide range can target a wide range of devices and systems, posing a serious threat to ***.
China has the world's largest internet population, and at the same time the world's largestCyberattacksOne of the goals.
