Iran Readying Hacker Attacks on U.S. Infrastructure, Specialists Say

Iran is recruiting a hacker army to target the U.S. power grid, water systems and other vital infrastructure for cyberattack in a future confrontation with the United States, security specialists will warn Congress Thursday.

“Elements of the IRGC [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] have openly sought to pull hackers into the fold” of a religiously motivated cyberarmy, according to Frank J. Cilluffo, director of the Homeland

Security Policy Institute at George Washington University.
Lawmakers from two House Homeland Security subcommittees will hold a joint hearing Thursday about the cyberthreat posed by Iran, as tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program continue at a high level, and a possible Israeli strike looms.

Seriously, why arent more people doing something about our scam of a government?

They lie and lie and lie. Iran doesnt want a war with the US, they know they have no chance. Its pathetic that our government thinks were this stupid.

Stop wasting american lives over there.

This bullcrap is just another B.S. push for internet control by our government...Congress is voting on the next SOPA this week; CISPA I think. They won't give up until they find a way to pull the wool over Congress' eyes. Probably wind up slipping it into a 25,000 page boll somewhere down the road.
