Iran Hacks US Spy Sites
superapecommando writes "Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps hacked into 29 websites affiliated with US espionage networks, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency reported on Sunday. 'The hacked websites acted against Iran's national security under the cover of human rights activities,' Fars reported. It did not disclose details of the attacks.
The Internet has been used by Iranian opposition groups who contested the results of last year's elections there to organize demonstrations and share information about protests and arrests. The Revolutionary Guards is a military group that was founded after Iran's 1979 revolution. The group includes conventional army, navy, air force, and intelligence units, as well as the Basij paramilitary force and various business units."
As much as I dislike fars news comparing them to Fox News is just not fair.
Nice headline. These idiots make it sound like the Basji took down the firewalls at Langley and laid waste to the CIA's cyberwar infrastructure. More appropriate headline: "Iranian script kiddies take down website; blame US".
Well it is called the "Farce News Agency."
If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
Hey Mr. Beck, how did you know it was me?! I guess our biases show. Things are going great over here. We killed another 500-1000 students today I think? I can't remember.. I usually stop counting after the first few hundred! Also we took down 12 US spy satellites, had a successful launch of a ICBM, and hacked into 142 websites run by US and Israel zionist spies. All in all I would say it was a great day.
Perhaps you should read the article.
You are new here, right? Let me show you around...
