Anti-Israel hacking collective steals "highly sensitive" nuclear data and satellite imagery from IAEA

Trying to strongarm the IAEA into acting against Israel's nuclear program, so as to render the Jewish State defenseless against a nuclear jihad from Iran.

"IAEA Incursion," by Adam Kredo in the [1] Washington Free Beacon, December 3 (thanks to Steve):

An anti-Israel hacking collective has [2] seized “highly sensitive” nuclear data and satellite imagery from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the world’s top nuclear watchdog, according to the website Cryptome.

This is the [3] second time in two weeks that the IAEA’s internal computer systems have been hacked by a group calling itself Parastoo, which is the Iranian [4] word for a swallow (bird).

Parastoo stole the personal information of nearly 200 IAEA scientists and officials last week, including one employee in the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science. DOE is responsible for overseeing America’s nuclear arsenal.

Parastoo now claims to have pilfered reams of documents and personnel information from the nuclear watchdog’s internal “nuclear data section,” according to a statement by the group.

It also has obtained “highly sensitive information, Including Confidential ‘SafeGuard’ Documents, Satellite Images, Official letters, [and] Presentations,” according to the statement.

The hacker group has threatened to release this sensitive information unless the IAEA launches a formal investigation into Israel’s nuclear site, which some believe houses nuclear arms.
