Iran and North Korea Team Up To Fight State-Sponsored Malware

Posted by Unknown on from the supervillian-crossover dept.

An anonymous reader writes, quoting the article: "At the start of this month, news broke that Iran and North Korea have strengthened their ties, specifically by signing a number of cooperation agreements on science and technology. The two states signed the pact on Saturday, declaring that it represented a united front against Western powers. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, told Kim Yong Nam, North Korea's ceremonial head of state, the two countries have common enemies and aligned goals. On Monday, security firm F-Secure weighed in on the discussion. The company believes Iran and North Korea may be interested in collaborating against government-sponsored malware attacks such as Duqu, Flame, and Stuxnet."

    While I've not much of an idea of what goes on either on iran or north korea, even the daftest of the rednecks will notice that these two utterly unrelated countries are joining forces to defend themselves from the US and Israel.

    These two are whole countries, and regardless of what the hell goes on, they must defend themselves from this and much, much worse bullshit. Why? Because they're evil that's why

    Because america fuck yes, that's why.

    My repugnance towards the US is as great as my appreciation of it was when I was a kid.

    but this does not mean that enemies are just made up hoaxes

    the venom from north korea and iran is real. just ask a japanese, or a syrian

    this is where you lecture me

    Stupid war pig, tricks are kids.

    Venom does not equal realistic threat. If it did, Osama would have killed millions and the KKK would have purified the country.

    So who gives Israel their weapons, nukes (?) and what not?

    Who mess up the middle east in the first place?

    Who's alright supporting anyone as long as it fits the current agenda?
