tf does this have to do with iran?
Person A: Red Hat has massive US military contracts for autonomous weapons that are being used against Iran!
Person B: Yeah but they have IBM's infrastructure too
Person C: There's this much smaller company that we might be able to take down. They're in the same industry.
Person A: Do it!
Person B: But do they have and military contracts like that?
Person A: SHUT UP I SAID DDOS THEM
lmaoo but it might actually kinda makes sense
i wouldn't be surprised if iranian infra also depends on redhat or ubuntu though
... attentionseeking, you know, for the cause? I dunno, honestly. Boggles the mind.
tbh it kinda feels like it's completely unrelated to iran, maybe this attacker group is trying to defame(? idk the correct word) iran?
So, basically a false flag?
Yeah, sort of. Even the false flag is false flag.
I tried looking into it but I did not find that much info. there are some Iranian hacking groups linked to the state or are state funded and 313 team seems to be linked to those. This is one of the better overview articles I found:
