SHARE:

Adjust text size:


At the end of December 2012, Iran started conducting a six-day naval military exercise to see how well the country could defend its maritime borders. For the first time, the Velayat 91 drill also included cyber security exercises.

On the second day of the drill, a cyberattack against the Navy’s computer networks was simulated, Iran’s PressTV reported.

Officials claimed that the Navy’s cyber defense forces successfully managed to contain the attack whose main goal was to spread viruses and gather sensitive information.

Over the past few years, after being targeted by numerous cyberattacks believed to be launched by enemy states, Iran has taken considerable steps to improve its cyber capabilities.

One of these steps was the creation of the Navy’s cyber defense group, a unit specialized in detecting and countering cyberattacks.

"Cyberattacks", you say? My Oh My...


Well, Mister Kovacs, you are, either an ignorant, either a guy who tries to manipulate the crowds - under the plea of "I was only informing them". I will explain myself immediately. Take a look at this picture:

(I presume you already found out what have happened, recently, to Mrs. Hillary Clinton, and to Mr. George Bush; and also, to many others "occult [facade] leaders": they are, all, sick to death. You can include in this category guys like George Soros. A mound of money + the "modern science" can not exempt you from God's punishment. But they can help you to slow-down your agony... These people got what they deserve.)
