It might be tempting to think that the conflict between the United States and Iran has abated for now. Tehran launched an attack on a U.S. base in Iraq after the airstrike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. President Donald Trump just gave a speech in which he stated that the regime appeared to be standing down.
These are all positive signs, but by no means does it mean that the standoff is over. In fact, recent news from Texas indicates that it could be taking a different form. On Tuesday, Governor Greg Abbott said that the state’s Department of Information Resources (DIR) has experienced a massive increase in cyber attacks coming from Iran this week in the wake of the rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
According to ABC News, the governor explained that up to 10,000 attempted cyberattacks per minute had been launched by entities based in Iran over the last 48 hours. “These attacks from Iran-based entities, as well as other entities across the globe, are going to continue,” Abbot said. “I think it’s very important that everyone be particularly vigilant right now about what may happen out of Iran.”
DIR executive director Amanda Crawford released a statement which read:
“The Texas Department of Information Resources constantly detects and blocks malicious traffic on the networks of the multiple state agencies it services. In the past 48 hours, DIR observed an increase in network activity from outside the United States, including Iran. As global threats to cybersecurity increase, we urge Texans to be vigilant and use heightened awareness as they conduct Internet activity.”
Concerns over the possibility of Iranian cyberattacks were present long before the killing of Soleimani. Indeed, Tehran is known as one of the most dangerous players in the world of cyberwarfare. The regime recently launched a cyberattack on Saudi Arabia on Dec. 29. According to The Washington Examiner the country’s cybersecurity agency identified the type of attack as a “wiper,” which erases a target’s data.
The Department of Homeland Security recently issued a warning to U.S. companies to “consider and assess” the potential impact and threat of a cyberattack on their operations shortly after Soleimani’s killing. Abbott’s announcement came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps issued a statement claiming that “the fierce revenge by the Revolutionary Guards has begun.”
The threat of military hostilities may have subsided — at least for the time being — but it seems the overall fight has not yet concluded. Iran might not launch more missile attacks on the U.S. in the near future, but it is clear that they are not still a pernicious threat capable of causing significant harm.
Moore and Jane Fonda need to be in front of a firing squad for treason along with Omar
You forgot John Kerry and Obummer.
To compare Michael Moore to a pig is an insult to pigs, they are much more intelligent and good looking than he is. He looks like the area just under the tail of an overweight Jackass!
I'VE SEEN PIGS THAT ARE BETTER LOOKING THAN HIM.
Note that after Moore Tweeted to the Ayatollah, they bombed our military bases in Iraq. He's showing weakness and is actually causing more problems than if he'd keep his filthy mouth shut!
These ass clowns love these terrorists so much why dont they go f...... move there
Better idea, let moore take levinson's place as a hostage.
Michael Moore has serious TDS. Why don't you go to live in Iran for a couple years Moore, and see how things go. Bring along a female friend and see how she fares without her Burqa? As someone quoted in the article: "If they don't go to the Funeral they get arrested." That's how things are in Iran.
CSN, I'm not sure that the fat boy has any female friends!
I really think micheal moore, the fat slob that he is should be sent to live there, i think he could do very well with all the fascist propaganda he always tries to push. Or maybe we should amputate his arms and legs so he could empathize with the victims of soleimani
Do not do that to Iran, send him a warlord on africa.
if amputated, he would eat them
This guy needs to be JAILED, and NOW!!
Yeah put him in jail in Iran and see if he has the same few of these terrorists. This idiot and all the other dimwit Democrats should just move to the Middle East they won’t be missed for one second.
Gullible fat moron. Moore probably did not who he was either until the terrorist was dead.
Michael Moore is a pore excuse for a human being.
He is actually what you would expect out of Hollywood.
These left wing Bat-ass people always find a way to put down America and praise these Terrorist Countries.
You notice they never leave here or move to the places they praise.
Maybe the money train should be cutout from under there feet.
I would prefer to live in Iran than Hollywood with crap there. Iranians are nicer.
All these people are FORCED to be there or they will lose their lives! ! !
Moore's an idiot that keeps on giving.
Why do comments from this left wing radical idiot have to be made public. Is he some kind of authority that needs to be listened to? I don't think so. Enough from him. Please stop publishing anything he has to say. His comments and ideas are his own and have no bearing what the public thinks. Get rid of him for good, never to be heard from again. Trash!!
How did America let trash talker Moore have all this stupid air time ?,,,,,,THE LEFT MEDIA and he still is ANTI/American walking the streets with body guards
they better be really good bodyguards！he makes more neighbors into enemies daily every time he opens his slop hole
My question to you Michael Moron is. Why don't you take your fat stupid ugly commie POS ass to Iran to live?
Maybe the MSM will say you are gay, enjoy Iran while you are still alive .
Michael "fat ass" Moore needs to have some of the fat sucked out of his brain. He has lost his mind. Let him go over there and make some movies and we'll see how long it would take for him to be the victim of assassination... Go ahead give it a try Mad Mike...
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! WAKE UP CHRISTIANS...
A lot of interesting comments about Moore. I watched the funeral in Iran and think to myself when they are carrying those coffins; the bodies are being bounced around a lot as they pass the wooden boxes along but wait, those boxes are empty and this is all staged!
No, We would show up, because we'd be at Work!
what can one say about a washed do no good except chew on America. sorry to have someone like that.
Another scum bag, Moore is lower than whale shit.
What a shit smear M Moore is.
who does michael the Hut think he is offering to “fix this” himself. the only thing he is commander in chief of is buckets of fried chicken and extra lard sauce.
if “he/it” has the power and authority to speak to the world on behalf of the American public and government, then i am moving to a deserted island in international waters. i would rather drown myself in urine than allow that anti-intellectual slob speak for me.
God help us all！
The fat boy is such a proud American, isn't he? I just love hearing him praise America...why? Because he can say all the crap he wants to and he'll never go to prison, be tortured, be killed...like he definitely would in those countries he apparently thinks so highly of!!
What's your point fat boy???
He should be taken aboard one of our B52's and dropped over Iran as Fat Man #2.
moore is a fat slob who should go live in iran or north korea. in north korea he would lose 200 lbs
Michael Moore is a traitor and he needs to be dealt with as such. The man is out of his mind with hatred for his own country. I can only hope that everyone will realize how sick he actually is and act accordingly. We need to totally end any communication with this loser.
Moore is as stupid as he is fat.
