Pakistani and Other Asian Telcos Were Attacked by Iran-Backed Hacker Group: Report

The full large scale operation is the inky option left.

WRONG! See our geography, we are sandwich. imagine What Iran can do if they join india completely against Pakistan. See Baluchistan border, how wide open it is. They have no intentions to do any such. Iran helped us in wars of 65 and 71. PAF jets often refueled from Iran. Iran keep supporting Pakistan's stance on Kashmir.

Also, our navy get's chocked, so is our port. No petroleum comes to Pakistan in event of war with India.. Our missiles, jets, tanks are all useless without fuel... Our lifeline then is .... you guess right.. "Iran"!

As I said earlier, its us "Pakistanis" who have superiority issues, we somehow think, world should act as we want them to act. Anyways, govt / establishment are sane enough and would never say anything. We can keep showing our ego loud on forums, doesn't matter. Officially Pakistan will never go against Iran. Whatever happens, you will never see even a word against Iran. As we know, we can afford only 1 front.
No you fan boys dont understand this. Why there are no attacks in iranian balochistan and always attacks in Pakistan balochistan because they have cut deals with them and allow them to operate in iran

the iranians are big backstabbers and didn’t deserve any empathy from Pakistan end. If the American and israelis ever decide to bomb the shit out if them we should close the border and grab popcorns. My reasons are purely from nation state perspective and have nothing to do with their religious believes.


Revealed: What Iran did for India and why it is hurt

Strikingly similar to the crisis that Iran faced at the IAEA Board meeting in Vienna last weekend, India too found itself in a tight spot in April 1994 at the United Nations Human Rights Commission's annual session in Geneva.
Curiously, India and Iran found themselves entangled with each other then too, as of now -- but with an entirely different body language.
If there is a Shakespearean touch to the sense of betrayal that Iran is so evidently harbouring today over India's vote against it at Vienna, how much of that harks back to silent memories of what had transpired between the two countries in 1994, we shall never quite know.
Persians may find it to be in bad taste to be blunt and forthright on such delicate issues as trust and betrayal.
In April 1994, when the UNHRC was assembling in Geneva, India faced an ugly situation. We were just pulling out of a grave economic crisis (of our own making, though) and were extremely vulnerable to the goodwill of international financial institutions.
More importantly, the Kashmir valley was burning -- witnessing some of the bloodiest violence in its unhappy history. The country itself was panting and heaving from the bloodletting of communal violence -- hidden medieval passions were tearing it apart.
Back in 1994, India was not yet possessed with the swagger and all-knowing cockiness of its current middle class optimism -- or, for that matter, its frightening pragmatism that is determined to make every relationship outright profitable.
Internationally too, the climate was uncertain. Boris Yeltsin's Russia was lurching toward the West in drunken stupor, and there was a big question mark as to the availability of a 'Soviet' veto if the Kashmir file ever again got reopened in the UN's business dealings.
Technically, if the UNHRC in Geneva adopted a resolution condemning India for grave human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir, a pathway would have opened for any of India's detractors (not only Pakistan) for referral of the 'Kashmir problem' to the UN in New York. The crisis was comparable to what could happen today if the IAEA indeed decided on a UN Security Council referral apropos of the Iran's 'nuclear problem.'
The assessment in the foreign policy establishment in Delhi at that time was that in the event of the Kashmir resolution coming up in Geneva, it had a strong possibility of getting adopted.
The draft resolution enjoyed the support of the 54-member states of the Organisation of Islamic conference and possibly some faraway countries in the Western world. Of course, Pakistan was its prime mover.
>Thus it was that on a cold wind swept morning in late March in 1994 with the Elbruz Mountain still wrapped in sheets of snow that an Indian military plane landed in Teheran airport bearing the then Indian external affairs minister Dinesh Singh and three accompanying officials from Delhi as his co-passengers.
The minister was visiting Iran to deliver in person an urgent letter from Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao addressed to Iranian President, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Rao was seeking Iran's last-minute intervention at the OIC with a view to ensuring that the Kashmir resolution did not pass through the UNHRC.
The OIC (like the IAEA) too had a convention that all decisions had to be arrived at through consensus. So, Rao shrewdly assessed that if a prominent OIC member like Iran were to abstain, there would be no 'consensus.' Rao was greatly averse to Dinesh Singh undertaking the mission, as the minister was seriously ill from the multiple strokes he had suffered a few months ago.
But Dinesh Singh ("Raja Saheb") would have no one else undertake such a crucial mission -- and Rao reluctantly gave in. Sadly, that also happened to be the last mission undertaken by Dinesh Singh in a diplomatic career spread over five decades.
In fact, after one look at Dinesh Singh alighting from the aircraft, Iranian Foreign Minister Dr Ali Akbar Velayati, who was waiting at the tarmac, impulsively asked what on earth could be of such momentous importance for the minister to undertake such a perilous journey in such a poor state of health.
Dinesh Singh went through his 'Kashmir brief' diligently through the day's meetings with his Iranian interlocutors - apart from Dr Velayati, President Rafsanjani and the Speaker of the Iranian Majlis Nateq-Nouri. The Iranian side politely noted the minister's demarche.
All in all, the business was transacted in a matter of 6 or 7 hours. Dinesh Singh left immediately for the airport for his return journey.
As he was emplaning, Dr Velayati who had come to the airport, reached out and holding Dinesh Singh's hands together in his, said: 'Ali Hashemi (President Rafsanjani) wanted me to convey his assurance to Prime Minister Rao that Iran will do all it can to ensure that no harm comes to India.'
After the plane took off, Dinesh Singh and his three co-passengers pondered over the import of what Velayati said. Did it mean that Iran would get the OIC resolution watered down? Or, would the resolution leave out any outright condemnation of India that attracted the UN's wrath?
It took 72 anxious hours more for Delhi to realise that instead of a halfway solution, Iran went ahead with surgical skill and literally killed the OIC move to table the resolution at a UN forum. We heard later that as the Pakistani ambassador sought to move the OIC resolution, his Iranian counterpart in Geneva acted on directives from Teheran and made an intervention.
He said that for Iran, both Pakistan and India were close friends, and Iran would be loathe to the idea that problems between friends could not be sorted out between the two of them, and needed instead to be raised at an international forum.
That was the last time that Pakistan sought to get a resolution over Kashmir issue tabled at a UN forum.
Thus, when the head of Iran's National Security Council, Ali Larijani said last Tuesday with a palpable sense of hurt: 'India was our friend. We did not expect India to do so' -- he would have had much more in mind than the 'shock and awe' that India administered to Iran last weekend at Vienna.
Larijani's erudite mind could not have missed the dramatic irony of it all -- that Teheran should have salvaged India's day at the OIC 11 years ago, and Delhi having a sudden, unexplained, inexplicable memory lapse in the IAEA.
And, on both occasions, it boiled down to how to kill a mocking bird -- how to keep a festering wound from being prised away for therapy in distant New York.

You should understand US and Israel will never bomb Iran nor will they degrade it's capabilities so as to prevent them from keeping the region in perpetual strife.
 
An Iran state-sponsored cyber group has targeted telecom companies and IT services in Pakistan for espionage purposes. These cyber attacks on Pakistani telecom structure have been carried out by a group 'seedworm' that has been previously linked to Iranian regime.

Cyber attack on Pakistani telecos was a part of mega espionage campaign that targeted Pakistan, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi & UAE, among other countries. It is not yet known if the networks were compromised or not. I sent emails to all Pakistani Telco operators, none responded.

Pakistan media, as always, has not reported Iran's latest espionage attempt but here is good reportage by technology website

As per Symantec Research, who has unearthed this espionage campaign, Iranian hackers tried penetrating a targeted network & then attempting to steal credentials in order to move laterally & deploy webshells onto networks for espionage.


@Pak Nationalist Bajwa Zindabad!
Needs proper investigation. I don't think it's Iran. It may be another country that will come forward with her "cyber solutions" to us. Same like "Houthis" attack UAE and Saudia, and here comes a savior from the neighborhood.

It's time for ISI to deeply start monitoring Arab interference in Pakistan's internal affairs. Didn't know the Arabs are that treacherous.
 
Not saying the above is not true but what would the Iranians want to attack us?

Just fabricated stuff by enemies of Pakistan-Iran friendship.

To be fair as far as the "Ummah chumma" fantasy is concerned, most Pakistanis no longer believe in it anymore. Whether they admit to it or not. Those days are long dead. The ONLY way forward is Pakistani nationalism and patrioti
A few fools can delay but not prevent our destiny.
