Answer:

The weakness of the article is that it has failed to explain how the hackers can be identified. It should be noted that despite strong encryption hackers still have their way since no system that 100 percent safe. Cyberwarriors need to come up with a way to recognize hackers since they cause a threat to global security especially when they hack military systems (Arquilla, 2012). Though the article has suggested measures to prevent cyberwars, the public still feels unsafe since when they systems are hacked the hackers cannot be identified and may end up losing everything. Further studies need to be done in this area to identify measures that can be used to identify hackers and prevent them from hacking the systems.
