Iran rüstet sich für Cyber-Angriffe gegen U.S. Infrastruktur-und Recruiting-Hacker. Die Iraner haben die Milizen der Hisbollah aus dem Libanon eingesetzt vorher und jetzt scheint es, werden sie die Zusammenstellung eines Cyber-Miliz von qualifizierten Hackern aus dieser gleichen terroristischen Basis. Dieser neue Trick würde es schwierig zu beweisen, dass der Iran hinter den Anschlägen war.

Laut einem Bericht in einer extremistischen Iran Zeitung, Die Revolutionsgarden warnten die USA "über eine unbekannte Spieler irgendwo in der Welt kümmern kritische Infrastrukturen anzugreifen."

A group called the Iranian Cyber Army that attacked Twitter and a Chinese search engine named Baidu in 2010 and in ’09. This type of incursion on a large scale would provide Iran with an option for psychological operations directed against the U.S. This kind of psyche op could bring fear and confusion directly to the American public and disrupt their normal daily lives.

Die U.S. has not even begun to prepare for combined computer network attacks directed at our military information and communication systems. The Iranian plan is to even use old jamming techniques to degrade radar systems and complicate defensive and offensive operations.

U.S. government agencies like the Strategic Air Command are aware of the problem but no one in this administration is at the helm to address the Iranian Cyber Threat dilemma.

Our intelligence agencies have attempted to estimate the skill level of Iran’s hacker terrorists, but sometimes it does not even come down to a matter of skill, when there is already an abundance of cyber-weapons available as close as the world wide web. Adversaries in the Internet hacker underworld do not need capabilities, just intent and a little cash under the table, so to speak.
