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 Washington Free Beacon, December 3 (thanks to Steve):

An anti-Israel hacking collective has 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 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 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.

Parastoo is a very popular Farsi name for girls. Parastoo is Persian not Arabic. it means swallow bird. which means the bloody Iranian government is behind this.

See Drybones, for a blackly funny comment on all those whose calls for a 'nuclear-free Middle East' are in fact aimed at depriving Israel of its nuclear deterrent so it will be easier for the Ummah to go in for the kill.

"Look, the whole thing is very simple.

"There are 350 million Arabs {Islam-addled Arabs - dda}, who control 22 states and a land area more than a thousand times the area of Israel.

There is Islam-maddened mahdi-maddened Iran, with a land area by itself twenty or thirty times the size of Israel.

"There are the vast oil resources that is a gift that keeps on giving, to Arabs and Iranians alike -- some thirteen trillion dollars since 1973 alone -- money that pays for diplomatic assaults, propaganda aided and abetted by Western hirelings, some of them true Believers and antisemites, others merely in it for the money.

"More than a trillion of that money has gone to buy Western arms, and to pay for projects related to nuclear weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction.

"If you want Israel to survive, then you have to understand that there will never ever be a day when Israel can afford to give up its nuclear arsenal. Never.

"If you are murderously hostile to Israel, or merely coldly and cruelly indifferent to its fate, then you will pretend not to understand this, and will aid and abet those Arabs and other Muslims who recognize that in order to destroy Israel they must first get rid of its nuclear arsenal.

"That will not bring peace but certain war, and the war will be one of Israel's destruction, and the mass killing -- have no doubt about it -- of the Jews of Israel.

"That's it. There is nothing else you need to know.

"Those who call for a nuclear-free Middle East are calling for the destruction of the Jews of Israel.

"End of story."

Right now, it is the Muslims of Iran who are most openly declaring their intention of annihilating Israel by means of an atomic Shoah.

But the Arab Muslims had (and doubtless have) also their genocidal dreams...

From Bat Yeor's 'The Dhimmi', p. 137.


“A negative attitude was expressed in 1982 by Algeria’s first president, in a lapidary formula:

-‘Ce que nous voulons, nous autres Arabes, c’est etre. Or, nous ne pourrons etre que si l’autre n’est pas.

- ‘What we want, as Arabs, is to be. However, we can only be, if the other is not’.” {or, ‘if the other does not exist’}…(and Bat Yeor cites the reference: Ben Bella, ‘Tous Contre Israel’, PI [that is, the International Political Review] Vol 16 (Paris, 1982).

- Ben Bella openly approved the assassination of leaders whose policies he disapproves of – a common practice under the Mamluks –
**and then went on to justify, after the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Arab states {that is, by Arab Islamic states - dda} a nuclear war to destroy Israel** {my emphasis - dda}:

- ‘If there is no other solution, then let there be a nuclear war, and that will be the end of it, once and for all" (he said that openly in the same article, 'Tous Contre Israel', published in Paris in 1982).

Western politicians, diplomats, religious leaders, have absolutely no excuse for pretending that they do not know, or for somehow managing not to know, that the Muslim war upon Israel, waged by force and by fraud, by purse, pen and every other means to hand, as opportunity presents, is intended to have only one ultimate outcome: total annihilation of the Jewish state, and the mass-murder of most and perhaps even all of its Jewish inhabitants, followed by the gleefully triumphant sacking and destruction of everything the Jews have built there, and the creation of yet another monstrous Muslim hell-pit on the ruins. A hell-pit within which any Jews that somehow survived, and any remaining Arab Christians who did not flee, and the tiny remnant of the Samaritans, would be thrust back down into the humiliation, degradation and perpetual terror of dhimmitude, and kept there, with the Muslim boot planted firmly on their faces.

They're looking for documents that actually identify a nuclear weapons capacity. This would in turn "justify" their efforts.

I really hope Iran doesn't go there. If the estimates of Israel's arsenal are realistic, they could have between 100 and 200 plutonium bombs and they have the missile delivery systems to drop them anywhere in the middle east.

I may detest the theology/politics of the people the live in those countries, but I wouldn't wish a fate like that upon anyone.

I don't understand why a machine with such information is on the internet. Physical isolation from the net is the gold standard for network security.

Agreed 100%

If a security system on the internet(firewalls, encryption etc.) is made by a man, it can be hacked by a man.

We all now enjoy what we see
But all will suffer,much the Jews for they are wise and small
It will be worse befor we realize what is needed
Good shell raise in his name and not death. not!
The killer in the name of is wrong
The killer of defense maybe right
Bless the kind and wise and judge the wrong!
Amen thy will be done!

It's a good bet they're lying about getting anything sensitive, if anything at all, but what else can you expect from Iran. It's like that braggart virgin who'se always trumpeting his supposed sexual exploits. They're too bombastic to be taken seriously.

That's *exactly* what this is intended to do—as well, of course, as further demonizing Israel and absurdly casting them as a "rogue nation".

Thanks for confirming that, miriam. That Iran is behind this attack on Israel does not surprise me—of all Muslim countries, they are most interested—and able—to take advantage of a victim deprived of her nuclear deterrent.
