He said the Qatar attack was similar. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 25266136 United States 10/13/2012 02:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iran has launched a major cyber counter-offensive on US targets, attacking major Wall Street institutions, Reuters news agency sources report. Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup have come under ever increasing denial-of-service attacks since the end of last year. The attacks use brute processing force to make a website unavailable to ordinary users, but gain no access to private information. "Most people didn't take Iran seriously. Now most people are taking them very seriously," a source told Reuters. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase experienced unexplained website disruptions earlier this week, and NBC reported that the attacks may have been orchestrated by Iran. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25223854 Poland 10/13/2012 03:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All my earnings other than Social Security retirement come thru the internet. Without the internet my income drops to about $10,000 a year. With it, it's about $24,000. As you can tell, my footprint on the internet wouldn't blow a gnat off a leaf. But if larger portions of the internet became unusable, it could have a major negative impact on my life very quickly. I'd have to live without air conditioning. You might laugh but the only reason so many people now live in FL is due to the invention of air conditioning. (Good God! It must have been a hell hole of a place to live a hundred years ago.) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25416263 United Kingdom 10/13/2012 03:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If cyber "terrorists" where to attack and infiltrate US government systems, do you believe that they would make their presence known by plastering burning US flags all over the system, or remain hidden till they need to bring the system down? I'm not calling this thread B.S, but to believe that an organised hacking of US systems would do it simply to show off that they can, forcing the US to upgrade their security and rectify the problem, that sounds like B.S If this has any grounding to reality at all, then I would believe this to be a false flag, not a terrorist attack, because as I mentioned a terrorist cell wouldn't make show off, they would try to remain on the system hidden from view, not plastering pics of burning flags. Its like playing poker with an ace up your sleeve, and throwing down all 3 cards before even upping the ante, it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. |

Personally I believe that this is just a fabricated excuse to go to war with Iran. (on top of the ever growing list of reasons) I am not sure quite how the organisations under attack work, perhaps the US had too place these viruses on the system so that the worker their would report the incident as a real threat. Perhaps the organisation itself made up the whole incident in its entirety. All I do know is that burning US flags raise a lot of unspoilt ones. |

But Panetta described them in a speech to business leaders in New York City, saying they were probably the most destructive cyber assault the private sector has seen to date. Quoting: Gonviral Panetta did not directly link Iran to the Gulf attacks, but he said Tehran has "undertaken a concerted effort to use cyberspace to its advantage." And, he said the Pentagon has poured billions into beefing up its ability to identify the origin of a cyberattacks, block them and respond when needed. "Potential aggressors should be aware that the United States has the capacity to locate them and hold them accountable for actions that harm America or its interests," said Panetta in a speech to the Business Executives for National Security.

Any claims that Iran is responsible should be met with disdain. It could be Russia, China, Japan, but most likely it is Israel like always. Trying to push us into doing their dirty work.

Americans throw bacon and make silly cartoons insulting that fuck Mohammad. All Iran does is replace image files with a burning flag?? How lame and unimaginative. Dont the virus creators from Iran know the Americans usually dont get too upset over a piece of material being burnt? Sorry Americans arent as pitifully weak in the mind as the frail Iranian ego. In other words, nice try dorks but you FAILED |
