THIS IS A LAZY AND STUPID TAKE: The Iran Nuclear Deal’s Unraveling Raises Fears of Cyberattacks.

When the US last tightened its sanctions against Iran in 2012, then-president Barack Obama boasted that they were “virtually grinding the Iranian economy to a halt.” Iran fired back with one of the broadest series of cyberattacks ever to target the US, bombarding practically every major American bank with months of intermittent distributed denial of service attacks that pummeled their websites with junk traffic, knocking them offline. Three years later, the Obama administration lifted many of those sanctions in exchange for Iran’s promise to halt its nuclear development; Tehran has since mostly restrained its state-sponsored online attacks against Western targets.

Now, with little more than a word from President Trump, that détente appears to have ended. And with it, the lull in Iranian cyberattacks on the West may be coming to an end, too.

I guess the lesson here is that Obama should never have loosened the screws, and allowed the Iranian economy to come to a complete halt — and with it, the Mullah’s regime.

But we knew that already.
