alexalex Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 "Anonymous" Hacks Iran Gov't Networks. Releases over 10,000 secret emails. Hacker group Anonymous has successfully stolen and released more than 10,000 emails from Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. More attacks on the repressive regime are said to be "in the works." Hacker group Anonymous has leaked 10,365 ?top secret? emails from Iran?s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Anonymous says the files were accessed after the group infiltrated the Iranian Passport and Visa Office email center. All the files are currently available for download from MediaFire , as well as various BitTorrent sources. Most of the emails concern visa applications for ?an oil meeting,? according to an unnamed source who spoke with the International Business Times. And ?many? of those are reportedly for people ?from China.? A quick perusing of the files shows that, in most case, the emails are from Iranian government officials alerting visa applicants of their status. ... As of this writing, the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still down. According to a user of the #OpIran IRC channel, the attack on the mail servers ?is a multi-site incursion using a variety of exploits and hand-crafted methods.? The user added that ?the action [against the servers] is considered ongoing,? but said that there is new ?information under review.?... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=36a_1307157259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Knight Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Not exactly the smartest thing to do given that it may be perceived as some other government's sanctioned cyber attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan R. Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The main reason for people taking badly to Anonymous as of late was because of Sony, right? Well, what if Anonymous really was a scape goat for it? That would mean Anonymous haven't actually done much of the things people are p***ed at them for. Maybe Anonymous isn't so bad after all? :shiftyninja: I don't really know; I'm just playing a bit of Devil's Advocate. e-berlin.org 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth_criminal1990 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 at least they're doing something good for a change...but still, this could deteriorate an already tense relationship That depends how good Anon "members" (or rather participants) are at being anonymous, and indeed what methods they're using. Even so, they probably aren't all in one country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
