2. Article Title:
Anonymous declares 'cyberwar' on Israel
3. Article Source: CNN
4. Summary: An anonymous user has declared a 'cyberwar' on Israel. The unnamed user has hacked Israel's governmental computers and has posted confidential passwords, email addresses, and they have even deleted databases and ruined websites. The user posted these things on a Twitter feed. Although this attack may seem very detrimental, very little harm was done to the government's computers.
5. Reaction: I think it is wrong and distasteful that an anonymous user has hacked Israel's computers. I wish 'cyberwars' never existed. Hacking computers is a federal offense, and whoever committed the heinous needs to be punished. This event affects me because if someone hacked Israel's databases, then they could potentially attack America's digital world. If America's databases are attacked, then my access to the Internet could potentially be threatened.
6. World Impact: This affects the world because other countries could notice how easily Israel's computers were harmed, and could learn from Israel's unfortunate event. Other countries could realize that they need to protect their own databases from malicious hackers. This affects Israel because this attack puts them in a vulnerable position for future digital downfalls. This attack doesn't necessarily affect only Israel. This event affects many stakeholders and neighboring countries.
