A sends: http://www.rce.ir/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=362 http://alef.ir/vdcfmvdy1w6de0a.igiw.html?176239 General Hadianfar,Chief of Iranian Cyber Police says, RSA, a U.S.-based security company handling stuff for several American Banks including CitiBank has contacted Iran due to recent cyber attacks. He says we investigated the case and found Botnets with some victims located in Iran with C&C in Italy and UK. The report is based on the investigation sent back to RSA. To our knowledge this is the first Cyber Cooperation between an American entity and a nation-state Iranian organization. Obama in a recent speech named Cyber Security as one of the most important national security priorities, while having his candidates for DoD and CIA on his back and he did not even mention Iranian Nuclear situation.
