Hackers (Anonymous) group says it will attack Iran Sunday

[Viva_La_Revolution]

The Internet hackers group Anonymous plans to hack Iran on Sunday, according to a press release published on their website. The group wants to use International Workers' Day, which commemorates the first national general strike in the United States, as an opportunity to reignite last year's protests in Iran.

Exactly how they intend to "attack" Iran remains to be seen. The sophistication of their previous attacks ranges from the denial-of-service overloading of web servers (this simply knocks a website out); to the exploitation of code and accessing of private data (more like the hacking you see in the movies).

The announcement follows news from the Bahrain News Agency that Iranian hackers had tried to access the Housing Ministry's database regarding those who benefit from the housing services.

Most respectable and honourable citizens of Iran, It is a time of action. An era of change is sweeping the world. Everywhere, workers are taking their proper place, to lead and control their destiny. To speak on their own behalf, to speak for their future generations, and to speak on behalf of their dead. This change is embodied by the people of Iran - it started in Iran. Though your suffering is great, your strength is greater. Though your trial is long, your will persists. The people of Iran have the admiration of Anonymous, and the entire world. We can see that Iran still suffers at the hands of those in power. Your former government has seized control, and tries to silence you. People of Iran - your rights belong to you. You have the right to free speech and free press, the freedom to assemble and to be safe in your person. You have the right to live free and without fear. As International Worker's Day dawns - Anonymous stands with you! We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect Us.

18. Uh, 'be still my liberal pinko commie heart.' I can't help but say that I like this part:

'You have the right to free speech and free press, the freedom to assemble and to be safe in your person.

You have the right to live free and without fear.

As International Worker's Day dawns - Anonymous stands with you!

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive.

We do not forget. Expect Us.'

They seem to be against all bad things we don't want to see here or anywhere else. To everyone everywhere who want good things:

:loveya:

And thanks for posting this, we'd probably never know otherwise.

3. When they start to attack sovereigns is when I become suspicious

of motives.

[Kurovski]

6. Iranians want to be free. They've fought a great many years

and live secret lives behind closed doors, counter to what thick-headed religious leaders command.

You're free to be suspicious, I choose to be suspicious of the theocrats in Iran, and their corrupt elections.

[IScreamSundays]

7. We want to be free, we have corrupt elections, we are run by

puppets owned by bankers and wall street, we are run by forces that are hostile towards Iran. I remain suspicious.

[freshwest]

19. They've been spilling the dirt on the bankers and Wall Street, but your concerns are justified.

[IScreamSundays]

8. We want to be free, we have corrupt elections, we are run by

puppets owned by bankers and wall street, we are run by forces that are hostile towards Iran. I remain suspicious.

[Pharaoh]

11. Ditto here~

It's all corrupted by money worldwide.

[Kurovski]

14. Anonymous seems to be doing some work on that today via Chamber of Commerce

and other orgs that are providing money for our corrupt elections. that's happening now.

And yes, you are of course free to be suspicious. It is good to question.

[2banon]

21. I'm with you. I remain suspicious. We are run by banksters, and corrupt elections

and by forces that are hostile to Iran as well as our own working class people.

We seem to be waiting for Superman to come to our rescue and fix all of this crap for us. Waiting for Super Anonymous to save us. Ain't gonna happen folks, and this message for Iran isn't new.

9. It does make one think

The US government might like certain Arab countries in rebellion.

I am cautiously optimistic, but I am watching very closely.

[iandhr]

12. Iran is not a Arab country

[Pharaoh]

13. They have oil,

I should have been more specific.

[2banon]

20. FYI, Iran isn't an Arab Nation. But our Govt doesn't care if we understand that or not.
