Voice of America Site Forced Offline By 'Iranian Cyber Army'
angry tapir writes with this excerpt from TechWorld: "The pro-Iran hacktivist group that defaced the Baidu and Twitter Web sites a year ago has hit another target: the US Government's Voice of America news site. Voice of America was knocked offline temporarily after hackers were able to change the organization's DNS (Domain Name System) settings, redirecting Web traffic hitting Voice of America sites to another site controlled by the hackers."
nice one, Iran.
you guys are next in this revolution wave thing...
Changing DNS doesn't exactly seem like a hack. And it's not new. When will DNS registrars learn?
Breaking into domain name registration accounts and redirecting Web sites is a favorite tactic of the Cyber Army, and it has pulled off this attack numerous times in recent years. The group posted similar messages in the Twitter and Baidu incidents.
Here's what they have at the end of the article:
"It isn't a hack or a breach of Network Solutions services," he said. "The DNS was changed and we helped the customer reset it."
Fail Network Solutions. Fail.
US propaganda abroad -- subverting legitimate political movements to produce US puppets since WWII.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
It reached far and wide with audiences all over the world, and as far as I know the radio broadcast was never hacked.
Here they are raging against the great satan intervening in Islamic countries all the time, to little effect and then voila, couple of weeks and their Muslim brothers put the entire region on fire and overthrow government after government. Some in Iran must be pissing their pants by now. The world is changing and so far NOT to the extreme. All those cries for democracy in Muslim nations, that just ain't right is it. No burning of US flags, no cries for battle against Zionists. Just cries for democracy. Crazy stuff AND it is working.
The changes of it all working out okay are... well lets face it, nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen, if you had created a scenario in which North Africa would be in one big movement to overthrow local leaders last year, people would have told you to stop being a hollywood fantast and get a grip on reality. Just look at the map, a ribbon of rebellion and the end is not in sight. If Libya also falls... well then even outrageous violence doesn't work anymore or for that matter giving at least some of the oil wealth to the general public (Gadafhi might (now) be completely insane, but he was not as corrupt as some of his counter parts and at least the west of the country generally benefitted a bit from the oil income)
So, lets give the Iran cyber army its last few twitches before this guy will be in front of the firing squad for his allegiance to a overthrown regime.

Who's Voice of America?
Anonymous? Where are you?
So where are the Eye, the Ear, the Nose, and the Fingers?
The BBC is a legitimate and well respected news organization. VoA is about as close to a news organization as that Fox News Parody with Chris Wallace.
of a radio station? Sounds like an anonymous operation.

Everything you said has been said before to explain why North African countries won't rebel. And then they did.
New game, new rules. Why do you think western leaders allowed themselves to be photographed hugging the Libyan leader whatever his name is (see comment below) and indeed the British PM is on a weapon selling trip while the weapons sold in the previous trip are busy killing civilians? A bit embarrassing?
You also seem to have forgotten the violent repression of the earlier uprising in Iran. These are not the actions of a government willing to change. Neither are there continued attempts at making nukes. It was Libya that stopped, not Iran.
Really, LOOK at what is happening. Something has changed. Even if Iran stays the same for now, the Middle East has changed. The power balance is gone. If Egypt and Tunesia truly become democratic they would side far closer to Turkey then dictatorships. That is going to leave the remaining dictatorships far more isolated. Rewatch the fall of the Soviet Union. Once dominoes start falling,it is hard to stop.
I think all bets are off and considering Iran's reaction so far, they think the same thing. Why else block access to these events if they are sure their own people will stand behind the government?

Yeah, like in Gaza, Afghanistan, and quite a few other places, it turned out that "pro-democracy" demonstrators are totally incapable of defending against violence. (and really, before that in Saudi Arabia, and many other countries, read up on exactly how many families were exterminated to put the house of Saud into power. Not that the other north african monarchies were subtle, but the history of the house of Saud really does challenge one's stomach more than "average")
All it takes is a "tiny minority" ready to kill like lunatics until they get their way.
If Egyptians aren't prepared to meet Hamas' violence with equally deadly force, including (perhaps especially) against women and children (because, sorry, Hamas ("the muslim brotherhood") uses them as weapons)
Of course, the fact that this sort of tactics are used has nothing to do with religion, espcially not with "that religion". No, it does not even have anything to do with the fact that the paedophile prophet used the same kinds of tactics, making them "holy". This guy is some serious peace of work. "Holy" Methods to spread the "holy" religion of islam used by the paedophile prophet included : war, slavery, kidnapping people into slavery, mass-rape, genocide, religious genocide, ethnic genocide, sexist genocide (killing all men and leaving the women and children of a tribe in the desert without protection), and of course ...
claiming the only thing people had against "his religion" was racism (often he was less than clear on whether it was "allah" or himself that was a god, you'd think this sort of thing, directly in a supposedly holy text, would make people think ...). Yes, really, this guy cried racism when muslims were refused access to a city where one muslim "went mad" (which obviously was revealed later to be at the direct orders of a certain paedophile prophet) and killed a dozen children. This guy did that in 700 AD, decrying the "racism" of the Jews. Works really well, apparently, in a society that panders to multiple religions, thinking it can accomodate any ideology, no matter how genocidal it is.
Of course, no society has ever survived 10% infiltration of mohamedans. Sometimes the musulmans won, sometimes the entire region was devastated, taking centuries to recover, but fortunately without muslims. Sometimes so many genocides were comitted that any trace of a recognizable culture was gone (ie : most of central and eastern Africa, Pakistan when it became muslim, even large regions of Europe sustained centuries of constant muslim attacks and infiltration ...)
But don't worry. After all, the only thing one could possibly hold against this ideology, or the paedophile prophet, is that "he's different". And of course, other religions killed too. The fact that the worst "other religion" maybe killed a million people in times, while the paedophile prophet's religion killed a billion ...
Also, of all religions, only one proudly boasts of the fact that it's founder killed tens of thousands of innocents ... guess which one. Of course, this cannot be taken to reflect badly on it, right ? Oh ...
Oh and the "holy" purpose of this religion ? Why, superiority, of course. Where have we heard that before ? Oh right ...
Waiting for those "troll" mods. You know, once you exceed a certain level of uncomfortable facts in a post, you're pretty much bound to end up at -1.
China News Digest is a website run by overseas Chinese scholars and students. Its domain suddenly become unresolved today. (Search for China News Digest on Google and you can find many hits, but none of them can be resolved in DNS at the moment.)
Is this an attempt by Chinese government to disrupt overseas Chinese language reporting on Arab uprising (as many people in China "scale the wall" and read news from these sites)?
These could be false flag attacks.. either deliberate or not, we don't know. If we see more of these, the U.S. gov will finally have their excuse to shut down and control the internet.
The magical number is: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
Repeatedly saying "Paedophile prophet" makes it look like you've got some kind of agenda.
It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.
I'm replying so make sure no one reads your bullshit and thinks it's true.
First and foremost, you are not a troll. You are an asshole. And you think you're spilling out uncomfortable facts in your post?
That's what we hear everyday from neo-con, far-right extremists in America and Europe. The only uncomfortable fact in all of it, the only fact actually, is that it's all bullshit and FUD. You extrapolate and entire heterogenous group that extends from Morocco to Indonesia based on absolutely nothing. Pedophilism, racism, genocides... I'm actually used to see that... in Western or by Western civilizations.
Of course, no society has ever survived 10% infiltration of mohamedans. (...) Sometimes so many genocides were comitted that any trace of a recognizable culture was gone (ie : most of central and eastern Africa, Pakistan when it became muslim, even large regions of Europe sustained centuries of constant muslim attacks and infiltration ... )
Well, Muslims dominated my country, the whole peninsula where it's located in fact, for ~700 years. That didn't stop both we and the Spanish from still talking a Latin language. It didn't stop the Iberian Peninsula from becoming a stronghold for the Catholic church and Inquisition, from burning people in crosses and other atrocities. It didn't stop us from enslaving large numbers of Africans throughout the Discoveries age and beyond. In fact, one could say (and indeed it is said) that the Muslim occupation of Iberia started a local golden age, from which you can still see the mosques (now churches) in Cordoba and Toledo, or the magnificent Alhambra palace. But you can still see the Romanic churches in Braga (former Bracara Augusta) or Coimbra that date from before the occupation. So, no cultural erasing happened, no genocide happened.
The Moorish culture is part of our culture. It's part of us in our language, our architecture, our way of life. So fuck you and your bullshit. You don't know what you're talking about. Crawl back into whatever fear-monger-and-xenophobe-harboring hole you crawled out of. You think the world is full of brainwashed morons like you? Think twice.
Also, you mention something about the Mufti meeting with Hitler... You want really uncomfortable facts? How about this: Hitler cutting deals with Zionists, offering free and safe passage to Palestine in exchange for commercial activities with Germany, among other things That's something you Muslim hate-spreaders never mention, perhaps don't even know, like the effective tools and sock-puppets you actually are.
Stop slandering people you know nothing about. Get a brain instead. And use it.
redirecting Web traffic hitting Voice of America sites to another site controlled by the hackers
there's nothing like unexpected visit to goatse or "1 man 1 jar" site
Whats with all the anti-American sentiment on this site? Have you never left your moms basement? You think these countries don't put out propaganda? Why does this site always come down against American ideals? There are a lot of naive stupid liberals on this site. I know I read it here that liberals are just smarter than anyone else. I find it harder and harder to come to this site.
1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.
2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.
5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.
6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.
7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.
8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.
9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.
10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.
11. Recently revealed documents prove not only that Israel has nuclear weapos, but actually tried to sell some to Apartheid South Africa. Who else Israel approached to sell nuclear weapons remains an unasked question.
12. In 1965, Israel stole over 200-600 pounds of weapons-grade uranium from the United States.
13. Declassified documents from the former South African regime prove not only that
Israel has had nuclear weapons for decades, but has tried to sell them to other countries!
We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.
Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop the war.
Saying "you've got some kind of agenda" makes it look like you think that having an agenda is bad.
...the future crusty old bastards are already drinking the Kool-Aid.
God bless you. A voice of truth and sanity.

The Iranian Cyber Army are "hackers"? How generous...
