An Iran-linked hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on a medical tech company in what appears to be the first significant instance of Iran’s hacking an American company since the start of the war between the countries.
The company, Stryker, which is headquartered in Michigan, produces a range of medical equipment and technology.
Historically, Iran has conducted some of the most infamous “wiper” cyberattacks on national enemies, aiming to simply erase all data on computers’ networks. Victims include Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, in 2012, and the Sands Casino in 2014.
In the future, if more similar attacks happen, I hope we all remember that Iran is defending themselves against a completely unjust war, launched on them by hegemonic force. Anyone affected by these attacks should place the blame on the US government for forcing Iran to defend itself.
Yes but it’s still weird going to bat for Iran, an objectively worse country in every way. The blood of thousands of their own citizens spilled at their own hand hasn’t even cooled yet, and somehow people are making them out to be the good guys.
In WW2, America had segregation, the UK and France had brutally oppressive overseas colonies, and the USSR had gulags. The Axis were still much worse.
It’s entirely possible for there to be no good guys in a war. This is just one piece of shit despot attacking another. Cheer for neither, pray for us all.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. I can condemn a senseless war without defending every atrocity the defenders have committed.
I don’t really see how Iran brutalizing Iranians makes it ok to drop bombs on other Iranians.
Hell, America itself has been the obvious villain in countless military conflicts. That doesn’t mean it’d be ok for some random other country to bomb Chicago just because they want to.
