US Releases Iranian Hacker

30 year old Iranian hacker Nima Golestaneh was extradited to the US from Turkey last year suspected of hacking attack against American military aerospace contractor Arrow Tech Associates (Vermont, USA).

In October 2012 Golestaneh broke into the servers of the company which builds ballistics prediction and testing software, and accessed its databases in attempt to steal software worth $millions.

US investigators identified that Golestaneh was in Turkey and he was then extradited to the US last year for trial on charges of wire fraud, unauthorized access to computers and money laundering.

However Golestaneh was pardoned by the United States and sent back to the Islamic Republic before being sentenced.
It seems that Golestaneh was part of an active Iranian hacking team that targets both US infrastructure and defense companies as well as the Las Vegas Sands casino email system.

The Top Iranian Lammers, I mean, Hackers?

This is interesting. According to this website the best Iranian hackers are as follows. Do you agree? Vote now!
Looking at the comments on the site and what I know you can conclude the following:

* Most are lammers
* They can do defacements...but that is all
* Many are kids
* Some are even girls!
* Some are not even Iranian!

Is this the best that Iran can produce at the moment? If so, then #fail

However:

* YoSeF HaCkeR is well respected
* Black_N3T is from the Shishe Digital Security Team
* Behrouz Kamalian founded Ashiyane Digital Security Team
* wild.soldier is well respected
* MilaD Ramus owns the SaeQeH Security Team
* Ali Morshedloo is member of Iran Security Team
* Mr.PERSIA is owner of Emperor team
* Mr. Rahgozar is member of irsec team
* MR.F@RDIN owns Emperor Security Team
* Action Spider and Ashiyane were behind a hack against NASA in 2012
* Offensive is owner of Attacker Security Team
* Explo!ter is owner of the Emperor team
* amin3enator is a member of Iran-cyber team
* K!nG_4l!R3Z4 is a member of Pars team
