Recently, cyberattacks have affected water facilities across seven U.S. states. Industry experts suggest Iran might be behind these attacks. This situation raises questions about whether cyberwarfare is a new tactic in the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. It’s crucial to assess the potential risks involved.
Mary Louise Kelly, host of NPR, discusses these developments with Jenna McLaughlin, NPR Cybersecurity Correspondent, and Greg Myre, NPR National Security Correspondent. Their conversation sheds light on how cyberwarfare is increasingly becoming part of military conflicts.
Furthermore, the discussion touches on the situation in Ukraine. The country faces challenges due to a dwindling supply of air defense weapons, making it difficult to counter incoming Russian missiles.
