Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Row Sparks Cyber War Between Iran And Denmark
2006-02-15
Tehran, 15 Feb. (AKI) - The controversy over cartoons satirising the Prophet Mohammed first published by Danish papers has turned into a cyber war between Denmark and Iran. After Iranian hackers defaced dozens of Danish websites, Iranian and Canadian based servers hosting official and unofficial Iranian websites were smeared by Danish hackers on Tuesday. Victims included the Iranian oil ministry and the leading Iranian news agencies, IRNA and Fars.

According to Roozbeh Hashemi, who is in charge of Ravand Tazeh, one of Iran's top servers, both public and private companies suffered "significant" damages.
Jamal Karimi Rad, the spokesman for the Iranian judicial authority, said the attack by Danish hackers on the servers hosting Iranian institutional websites is "an act against the freedom of information."
Then his lips fell off..

Karimi Rad called on the Canadian government to "strongly protest with Denmark for the defacing of a Canadian server." The Toronto-based Ouriran server hosts 10,000 Iranian websites, 800 of which are managed by the government and official institutions.

#7  Cracking, attempts to bring sites down and defacement are a very popular pastimes for little muzzies. The tit for tat is new. It might increase but most crackers are leftists and TRANZI tools who would gladly help the muzzies they are so ignorant to the realities.

There are tens of thousands of qualified, hard-working, THINKING people who have at least a basic knowledge of programming languages and who ARE NOT Tranzis or leftists. That's more than enough to provide the cyberwarriors to destroy Iran's internal Internet traffic and its overseas sites. Whether this is a one-off, or will develop into a trend will require time to determine. At the moment, I consider this a GOOD thing - it shows that someone is thinking, has the courage of his convictions, and has found a way to strike back. Let the cyber-gameswars begin!

Good strategic prioritization by the Danes, methinks.

Does anyone mind if I laugh and point?

#5  Friendly Reminder:

Have you purchased your Danish Havarti cheese today (yum!) or purchased from the fine establisments below?

Our support of Denmark diminishes the power of the asshole Islmofacists, which, generally, is a good thing--right? Kind of a win/lose proposition.
