CAMBRIDGE – Two years ago, a piece of faulty computer code infected Iran’s nuclear program and destroyed many of the centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Some observers declared this apparent sabotage to be the harbinger of a new form of warfare, and United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has warned Americans of the danger of a “cyber Pearl Harbor” attack on the US.
剑桥——两年前，一条有缺陷的计算机代码感染了伊朗核计划，并摧毁了许多用于铀浓缩的离心机。有些观察家称这种明显的蓄意破坏预示着一种新的战争形式，美国国防部长莱昂·帕内塔警告美国人可能会受到“网络珍珠港”袭击。但我们对网络冲突究竟有多少认识？
