Tensions between America and Venezuela have escalated, with experts warning that Venezuela could retaliate against any US invasion through a series of cyber attacks targeting American citizens and infrastructure. The Maduro regime is reportedly capable of launching digital warfare, including phishing scams and denial-of-service attacks, which could undermine trust in major corporations and government systems. While the US maintains a significant technological advantage and has already begun targeting Venezuelan assets, security experts urge Americans to remain vigilant online as the risk of cyber threats increases.

The US military has positioned warships off Venezuela's coast and recently struck a suspected drug trafficking boat, intensifying the standoff. Experts believe that a major US strike would likely rely on cyber attacks aimed at Venezuela's military communication networks, domestic surveillance systems, and oil industry infrastructure. Despite the potential for widespread disruption, both sides are cautioned to avoid targeting critical civilian infrastructure, such as hospitals, to prevent humanitarian fallout.

International actors like Russia, China, and Iran are thought to have access to US systems but are unlikely to intervene directly in the conflict, according to cybersecurity professionals. The ongoing digital warfare campaign underscores the delicate balance the US must maintain in its efforts to weaken the Maduro regime while minimizing harm to Venezuelan civilians.
