Iran Behind Cyber Attacks On U.S. Banks

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 21, 2012 @08:27AM from the turnabout-is-fair-play dept.

New submitter who_stole_my_kidneys writes "Evidence suggests the Iranian government is behind cyberattacks this week that have targeted the websites of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. The attacks are described by one source, a former U.S. official, as being 'significant and ongoing,' and looking to cause 'functional and significant damage.' Another source suggested the attacks were in response to U.S. sanctions on Iranian banks."

  Maybe if we poke fun of Islam a bit more, they'll actually succeed in eliminating the banks for us. Ha-ha, only serious.
