Explain how cyberattacks impact the regular operations of a state.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Cyberattacks are designed to damage a nation's infrastructure, which includes its power companies, water treatment plants, airports, chemical plants, and oil refineries. In a worst-case scenario, a cyberattack could allow a terrorist organization to seize control of the federal air traffic control system, or shut down national power grids.One of the potential methods of carrying out a large-scale cyberattack is a distributed denial of service (DDoS). As part of a DDoS, hackers flood a targeted system with malware, much of it meaningless electronic "traffic," causing the system to crash and become inaccessible. Hackers in Iran, for example, are suspected to have launched DDoS attacks at a number of targets in the United States, including several major banks, a small dam in New York State, and a Las Vegas casino whose owner had been critical of the country's rulers.
