What I'm wondering is how the Iranians will be able to tell the difference. If you're connected to the Internet, you're being attacked 24/7. How can you tell that this "new" attack is from a red-blooded hacker group trying to defeat Iran? (As opposed to your average bot-building phisher hacking into boxes constantly.)First things first: 1:So far as I can see,the US does war games in the region ,and has been for decades.Now that they are actually in a war in that region,for sure there will be many shows of power to try and keep anyone else from wanting to jump in,or endanger there troops. 2:Iran is back to being a viable military threat.So,it goes to reason there will be much posturing by the US military to alleviate the threat imposed by another nation becoming involved in the quagmire there(meaning Iraq) now. 3:It doesn't help matters with the seizure of a UK boat and crew.Behind the scenes,I hope things are being handled appropriately. 4:$:If some foolish group takes it upon themselves to shove a new war,against a new `enemy' in the region at this time,they should be hanged!I believe that is what makes the difference between a General and your average(no disrespect intended!)soldier! Now if you think this is a good idea,then you must be STUPID!!!
