Iran Recruits Online Talent For Quick Cyber Strikes (axios.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Iran recruits heavily from online security forums to staff suddenly-launched hacking campaigns, according to new research by Recorded Future. The report comes a day after security experts expressed fears Iran may retaliate against the United States for withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. As a Recorded Future official said yesterday -- albeit without the detail of the report -- if emergency hiring leads Tehran to hire amateurs, they may be less amenable to government control.
Recorded Future based its conclusions on discussions with a well-placed source in the Iranian hacker community and analysis of Iranian security forums. Iran operates a tiered system for cyber attacks, where government employees choose targets and contract private firms, including universities acting as contractors, to do the dirty work.

The current POTUS and the people he's appointing to cabinet positions are alienating the rest of the world, our allies included
Except, that doesn't seem to be the case. All our allies seem to be happy with Trump leadership. South Korea is tickled pink with him. Japan seems to be pleased with the way things are working out. Nothing shaking in the Nato court, seems pretty normal there. For better or worse, depending on your point of view, Israel is very happy with Trump.
Mexico is unhappy, but they are always unhappy when the gravy train from the U.S. is threatened. Iran has been unhappy for the last 40 years, nothing new there. Russia and US relation are pretty normal, despite was alarmist are saying. China, we are arguing about trade with them, like we have been for the past 2 decades, nothing new there.
So the world seems to be ticking right along, situation normal.
I don't mind if you bitch about Trump, hell it seems to be a sport now. But if you are going to bitch, bitch abut something that is real and not something that you made up after you read some bullshit blog.
Here are some examples. His attempts to increase coal production. Some of the EPA appointees that seem to be a problem. Or his increased spending in the military. What happened to more is with less?
Bitch away but lets stick to facts.
I read at +2. If your post doesn't reach that level I will not see or respond to it.
Wrong again, but I see what you are grousing about. You are making noises about that silly Iran "agreement" that Obama made. Well you should probably do a little research before getting worked up. Iran never signed that "agreement." In fact, there was no "agreement." It was just Obama trying to be a hero and do a end run around Congress. The US never signed it ether. It was a non binding agreement, it was legally, literally worth less than the paper it was printed on.
A little advice. You seem to be really smart sometimes but you let your TDS blind you. You should do a little more research with your eyes completely opened. Do your research a little more like this. Don't look at a issue with a small narrow time frame. Look at the whole picture and spread it over several years. Then actually take the time to read up on a subject.
There, I hope this helps.
