Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe
comfy@lemmy.ml 7 hours agoIran, for one example, is a prolific cybersecurity adversary of the USA. One of the top four advesaries alongside China, North Korea and Russia. In fact, Iran is believed to be responsible for disclosing a CIA covert channel to China which led to a critical dismantling of CIA assets. I don’t know as much about other Arab states because Iran is most famous for its advanced cyber-warfare capabilities, but honestly, to avoid exploiting the USA would be very foolish.
Obviously this goes both ways. Israel and the USA are infamous for Stuxnet, a computer virus which reportedly destroyed a fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges in the early 2000s.

I just want to confirm that you know that Iranians are not Arabs. Linguistically they are closer to European and Indians.

Sorry, you are correct. I assumed the person you replied to was talking about the whole Middle East region and didn’t think twice for posting.
