Lone Iranian Claims Credit For Comodo Hack

nk497 writes "A boastful Iranian hacker has claimed sole responsibility for the Comodo security certificate attack, saying it had nothing to do with his government. The 21-year-old claimed via a note on PasteBin, 'I'm not a group of hacker, I'm single hacker with experience of 1,000 hackers.' While some researchers believed his claims, saying the media had accepted Comodo's claims that the attack was from the Iranian government too easily, others said it was impossible to tell if the hacker was real, or a PR move by Iran."

Of course it's a PR move

I mean come on, really?

'I'm not a group of hacker, I'm single hacker with experience of 1,000 hackers.'

Sounds just like the Iraqi Information Minister or Kim Jong Il. "Oh no no no! I not a group or government no! I am super skilled hacker with skill of 1000 men. I can play 18 rounds of golf in 18 shots by getting 18 hole in one. Yes! I just that good!"
