Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran launches cyber attack against Israel’s water authority, through American servers

May 9, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

With massive population growth, poor infrastructure, and a period of severe drought, the Islamic Republic of Iran is experiencing severe problems with water supply, resulting in water shortages as well as sinking land, sinkholes and fissures.

Israel, on the other hand, is a world leader in water management; Iran can learn much from the Jewish state to solve its water crisis. But all priority in Iran is given to its jihadist Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp and its jihadi proxies worldwide, far above concerns for domestic needs.

Israel tried to reach out and help Iran, despite the country’s frequent chants of “Death to Israel.” Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Israel’s water technology to Iran, but was rebuffed, Islamic supremacist style. Iran demonstrated anew its obsessions with pride, propaganda, hatred and murder, instead of peace, reconciliation, and advancement. While other countries in the West and sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from Israel’s expertise in water management, the Iranian regime plots which infidel it can murder next and how much destruction it can inflict.

Now it has emerged that Iran has not only refused Israel’s help, but has launched a cyberattack against Israel’s water authority sites. An unnerving aspect of the attack is that the “Iranian hackers used American computer servers to launch their attack.” Fortunately, the attack was fended off. “Israel has an advanced cyber security apparatus and fends off of thousands of cyber attacks on a daily basis.” Sobering thought.

Jihadis are motivated by Islamic religious zeal, and have no boundaries on how far they will go to attain their ambitions. Westerners, particularly left-leaning ones, do not comprehend that. Appeasement and/or outreach merely emboldens the jihadis.

“Iran behind cyber attack on Israeli Water Authority; operated through US servers,” by Paul Shindman, World Israel News, May 7, 2020:

Iran is behind the cyberattack on Israeli water authority sites last month, Fox News reported Thursday.

According to the report, the Iranian hackers used American computer servers to launch their attack. The U.S.

Department of Energy refused to comment on the specific incident, but a senior official said the Trump administration was committed to protecting America and its allies against these sorts of attacks.

Two weeks ago, unknown hackers staged a cyber attack on water facilities in Israel with the aim of taking over operating systems and disrupting pump operations.

The attack on several water-pumping stations and sewage plants around the country apparently took place over April 24-25 , however, it is unclear whether any operating systems were taken over or pump operations disrupted.

Water and sewage operators were instructed to act immediately to change passwords for the operation of the facilities, “with emphasis on operational systems and in particular on chlorine adding systems,” a Ynet report said.

On sites where passwords could not be changed, operators were told to consider disconnecting systems from the internet.

No operational damage was reported, and the national water authority issued a short statement saying that “the issue was addressed.”….

    “Iran has not only refused Israel’s help, but has launched a cyberattack against Israel’s water authority sites.”

    Hopefully Netanyahu will withdraw his helpful hand and replace it with: let them drink and bathe in camel piss

    All of islam holds that peace with sub-human, worthy only of slavery and death, non-believing infidels, kaffirs (kuffar), is at most temporary only until an opportunity is presented to slaughter and enslave. The most direct route to the story is Robert Spencer’s Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam. Reform and change are prohibited on penalty of death, which can be carried out by any vigilante so motivated, usually without penalty. Until that is understood and accepted as the “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” teaching and practice for 1400 years, killing between 250 and 1000 million people, delusions are controlling reality. Islam is the permanent enemy of peace and freedom. Nothing will change it. Only massive numbers of people wishing to live in freedom instead of dying in slavery will end this global curse. Overtures trying to change the unchangeable are nothing more than displays of ignorance, weakness, uncertainly and lack of resolve.

    Iran would be well served by doing the best for its people by providing leadership for clean water to its population instead of promoting hostility.

    Please look at this company. It is amazing.

      Small quantities of pure drinking water demand huge quantities of energy. The amount of water in a cubic meter of air, even at desert temperatures an humidity is miniscule. The air must be cooled below the dew point in order to condense the vaporized water, and then the heat of vaporization must be removed to convert the water from gas to liquid. The cost of this in quantities is staggering, and is dictated by physics, chemistry and thermodynamics, which do not change. This is nothing more than a dehumidifier where the condensed water is collected instead of being allowed to run down a drain. There is no free lunch. Ask any mechanical engineer or air conditioning expert.

      This company *is* amazing.

      But Frank Anderson is right. This cannot be used for supplying water to entire societies, nor is it meant to do so.

      This would be great to have, say, on an expedition in an arid area–it could be a real lifesaver. But this would not solve Iran’s water problems, even if they would accept help from the hated Jews.

    ………………

    Vicious morons. Glad this attack was foiled.

    And here’s something that really *could* help Iran, if they were not trying to murder the Israelis instead of trying to learn from them:

    “Israel Proves the Desalination Era Is Here”

    One of the driest countries on Earth now makes more freshwater than it needs

      True Sharia adherent Muslims refuse to learn from “the most vile of created beings” (98:6) who they don’t even consider to be human. I’m not revealing anything the Iranians don’t already know, but I’ll wager that the Israeli cybersecurity company CyberArk Software was directly involved in thwarting the Iranian attack. Jim Cramer, even considering his liberal leanings, has had the CEO of CyberArk on Mad Money at least once a year for the past several years. To return to my original point, this refusal to learn is not limited to Islam. It is clear that in schools all around the world, people are being taught what to think, not how to think.

    Islam will always bite the hand that feeds them. If we are lucky maybe the Iranian leadership will shrivel up and blow away.
