been stopped in the trenches no the government says it will help. business business as are you update on a global business news on d w m d as welcome markets have been stabilizing following a frantic start to the week caused by those tensions between the u.s. and iran oil prices months long highs on monday as traders fear of retaliation for the u.s. killing also radio commodity hossam so the money last tuesday see the dip in prices with a revenge attack apparently seeming less likely. have also been recovering lost ground on monday. for more on this let's go to our financial correspondent in frankfurt chelsea delaney chelsea markets have been gaming again as the shock wore off so quickly they're suffering more optimism in global markets today the dax here in frankfurt opened up about 0.8 percent it's really held up
3:46 pm
throughout the day one of the reasons for that is that simply there hasn't been any any real news from iran in particular they have you know about to retaliate but they haven't taken any action and so markets have sort of moved on to economic news and company news which is really been driving stocks over the past several hours the other reason is really that investors have sort of come down on the a side that there is really going to be a war between iran and the u.s. so iran's economy has already been really devastated by u.s. sanctions and a lot of investors don't think that they really want to be entering a war with the u.s. right now so there is a lot of more optimism that they won't be heading towards a conflict that there still is a lot of. anxiety and markets even though it's on the backburner today that there will be more of a tell you coming forward so investors are so sort of keeping an eye out for the. just delaying the infant thank you. so it might not be an all out shooting war but

investors around the world are keeping an eye on tensions between america and iran with a special focus on how american businesses could become a target for iranian revenge attacks and it's not about bombs iran has been known to be successful with cyber attacks in the past there are few examples between 20112013 iranian hackers targeted j.p. morgan chase bank of america and wells fargo with large so calls denial of service attacks making us difficult for customers to access their accounts iran also attacked the saudi aramco oil company n 2017 with the so-called shamoun virus it was so devastating that the network had to be rebuilt almost from scratch just in the verbal last year microsoft experts suspect that iranian hackers were focusing on physical targets major manufacturers

and operators that build hardened software used in industrial control systems for example control power grids manufacturing and oil refineries but iran is also vulnerable to cyber ties the u.s. has targeted or any an air defense and command sides in june last year as a response to terence drowning a downing rather of a u.s. drone for more on this i'm now joined here in the studio by spend happy he's a project director for international cyber security policy at the shifted more fun for them as a political think tank here in berlin when working with the studio doesn't run have the capability for a major attack against western economies so there's a 2 pronged approach right now what we're seeing are some low level patriotic hackers trying to deface and websites not a real threat low intensity but then we also know that iranian military intelligence units have a very very capable psyop aeration is units that are capable to at least does robt western companies if you. a cyber attack is more likely or several cyber attacks
3:49 pm
more likely than and or large shooting war or. when really much depends on what tara wants to do right now. very scalable so you can start with something low like stealing information disrupting some bank for a couple of days or go very high for example disrupting a regional power grid or something. the actions on the lower level could be taken as the escalation measure whereas taking off would be an escalatory measure it really depends on what they want to do and in the end of the day the iranians know that the united states has the escalation dominance they can decide how much they want to escalate it's all about taking down a power grid does the iranian. military for example have that capability well in syria could have obtained that capability i don't know for sure it was some operations have to be planned much in advance especially such a very sophisticated cyber attack so if they have time to prepare we don't know yet if they have access they can pull it off but in syria that would be possible and

we've seen in the posit the american power to parts of the american public are not the most protected ones in the world. being protected have mentions like the u.s. or its allies germany for example done enough to protect themselves well the question is can you really do enough in general and i think it's very difficult you can throw money at the problem we have limited human resources people who really know that stuff so it's very difficult if you're up against something like a military intelligence operations units that have been trained for this incident for 5 or 10 years they're doing something but i doubt it's enough especially if you look at the industry side of things so it's going to be interesting how it's going to play out which businesses you think are most vulnerable to this so i think the sweet spot is something you want to hit something if you're a you want to have something that shows on t.v. that looks good so taking down some regional smaller would be interesting we know that the iranians hacked in american in the past so water supply is interesting but of course refute look for example it's a bank. if you want to do something apart from just as some people from getting
