The evidence that points to Iran comes from a company named, Resecurity. But there are some odd stuff about this company. 1 - their CEO has no real linkedIn history [1] 2 - they revenue and employment went off the chart just in 2 quarters [2] 3 - very unclear how they came to this assessment. Especially now that US government is looking for excuses (real or fabricated) to make a case for war with Iran, I look at thes…

1 Resecurity's wordpress site has directory listing turned on. Most content on the website seems to have been uploaded in february. 2 The services that does the press releases looks suspicious. 3 The second service also looks suspicious 4 Golden Bridge Silver and Gold Award winners... Anyone heard of this? Seems they sell thophies [1] https://resecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/ [2] https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele…

What's suspicious about PR Newswire / Business Wire? They're the industry standard wire tools in Public Relations.

The Golden Bridge trophies seem to be available to buy if you've won.

Thanks for finding that. This image from their directory listing (maybe on their site somewhere but I couldn't find it) shows me at least something about their offering - looks like another dark web breach alerting service.

It’s absolutely reasonable to be critical of any accusations that “Iran did it” or any other nation that the US considers enemies. Didn’t our security ministers claim North Korea was behind the Sony hacks when Obama was in office? We were never given any proof, so it’s impossible to verify... When you consider the way we lie on international affairs, all statements our government makes must be considered suspect. Thi…

there is one small nuisance here - if we start to treat all governments equally skeptic, we should also "fry live" all large corporations too.

How did we come to this imbalance?

I think it is best to take a wholesale view that the news as we know it is a religion. That sounds a bit odd given that a lot that is in the news is fact oriented and a lot of current affairs is discussed. But in a formal church there is mention and prayers for those caught up in actual events.

Fundamentally though the news requires belief. It is there for the 'capitalist flock' who have a world where the government, democracy as we know it and the laws we have define the world.

With normal religion the real things that happen with celestial bodies get interpreted in some narrative that has to do with some carpenter's son who died a long time ago. A whole new world of god is created which is an abstraction of physical realities. Rather than 'primitive sun worshipping' there is this new religion to believe in, the religion accounts for everything in its own special way.

If you could teleport 500 years into the future and learned about TV news and how people believed it then you would wonder how people disbelieved facts they observed with their own eyes and what they knew to be true by the calling of their own heart and their own sense of reason.

Therefore, at least as a thought experiment, see the news and the nasty things said about people outside capitalist countries as 'religion'. It all becomes clearer then.

We most definitely need to see real evidence in these kinds of cases. It is not enough to be told 'the experts say it is so' - the case must be made public.

Too many times we are led into disaster and tragedy by secrets.

State secrecy being used as an excuse for violence.

A truly free people keep no secrets.

It is truly a shame that you are being downvoted, presumably by Americans too terrified of their own shame for participating in the acts you've described.

But the truth survives downvotes. HN is probably not (yet) the right audience for these kinds of truth - but no matter the discouragement, please continue to seek the truth about Americas involvement in these heinous, disgusting human rights abuses. Yemen is a disaster of American making and is reason enough, alone, to dissuade any assumption of moral authority by those who consider the USA the worlds mightiest cop, when it should be recognised, nearly exclusively, as a criminal thug pandering to other criminal thug states.

In spite of the downvotes, know and recognise that there are people in the HN scene who do not stand idly by, ignorant of what is being done in the name of Americans around the world. The support of the Saudi Arabian terrorist regime by the USA will not long stand unacknowledged!

Wtf is this "zoominfo" site that, upon clicking "Read More", tries to drive-by download an exe onto my computer? What is this, 2002?

Wow, I read the EULA-thing for that executable. > I Agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy I understand that I will receive a subscription to Zoominfo Community Edition at no charge in exchange for downloading and installing the ZoomInfo which, among other features involves sharing my business contacts as well as headers and signature blocks from emails that I receive.

Ah, dang it, I have to actually read these things now?
