- The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has published a new
detailed intelligence report on the Iranian regime's Cyber Army. The report is
based on intelligence gathered by the sources of the main Iranian opposition
group People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK)
inside the clerical regime including its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps
(IRGC).
The
report indicates that Tehran’s cyber army and the Iranian regime’s cyber
warfare is directed by the IRGC top brass, in particular the IRGC commander in
chief, Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari. The decisions about cyber warfare and
the conduct of the cyber army are made by the Supreme National Security Council
(, the highest decision-making body of the regime on national security
matters that is chaired by the President, Hassan Rouhani.
The
report shows that Tehran’s cyber warfare is carried out by an elaborate state
apparatus to pursue a malign and malicious state policy and that the Iranian
regime has stepped up allocating resources and staff to this warfare in recent
years.
Another
interesting aspect of the report is that the mullahs’ cyber army boasts and
brags about hacking other websites or attacking them. In one instance, one of
their affiliates boasted that they have attacked 500 foreign sites and
networks.
