The good thing is that the matter now seems to be moving towards peace. When America targeted Iran’s army chief Qasem Soleimani at the beginning of the year, at that time these two countries have set there very different & intense mindset towards each other. The air of revenge had flowed everywhere in Iran on the other side the security consultant of America had to feel new kind of fear. However, they were convinced that Iran would not stay in front of him in terms of military strength. They were fearful about if Iran chooses the Cyber Attack then what happens? Actually, this fear is not pointless because both the country already had the cyberwar is history. American cyber experts claim that for disrupting the Iran nuclear programme they made a virus & Iran also revert on it. In 2018 a cyber attack by Iran disturbs the government of Atlanta & Georgia. That’s why it is possible this time attack more powerful than the previous one.

Cyber Security is one the weak point for America. Like in the ground of war the soldiers of both the country are fighting with each other but in cyberwar, the target may be citizens of that country. Government is securing the servers which are used by there forces or army but what about those servers which are used by civil citizens of the country. The main centre which is highly targeted by any country in cyber attack is Water Supply Center & Power Grid & America is counted in that country who use the internet for most of the services in the country. America knows that they can’t harm Iran more in cyberwar than Iran do.

These kinds of story tell that war is still going with bomb & missiles but the fear is change now. From past some years, the perspective of providing security is gone change towards the cyber servers instead of infrastructures, bridges highways etc. Some people say if this time the world war happens then it will be surely a cyberwar. The Internet has given a lot to our civilization, cyber wars can take away everything.
