\"ebrahim-raisi-meeting-mois-irgc-police\"<\/p>\n

Today, following a series of strikes on the Iranian regime’s intelligence and information centers, including the interruption of state radio and television networks, the regime’s president Ebrahim Raisi, addressed an unprecedented gathering<\/a> of officials from the Ministry of Intelligence, the Revolutionary Guards, and the state police.<\/p>\n

While explaining the purpose of this meeting, allegedly to “prevent penetration”, “fighting corruption” and “eliminate the smuggling mafia”, Raisi said: “The enemies of the state have targeted every capacity of our country. They have threatened and sanctioned, they use new methods and evil tricks, and they use science and technology to fight our system.”<\/p>\n

Referring to the regime’s inability to prevent intelligence leaks, Raisi added: “It is not enough to just warn the intelligence forces, rather you have to prevent sedition and incidents. The enemy seeks to change the management system of our managers.”<\/p>\n

\"cso-logo\"<\/p>\n

Researchers have come across a previously undocumented Trojan used by an APT group of Iranian origin that has been targeting organizations in Israel but also other countries since last year with the intention of damaging their infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The group, tracked as Moses Staff by researchers from security firm Cybereason, has been operating since at least September 2021 and its primary goal is to steal sensitive data. It also deploys file-encrypting malware, but unlike ransomware, the goal is to cause business disruption and cover its tracks rather than financial gain.<\/p>\n

Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj Got Hacked<\/h3>\n

\"Ghezel-Hesar-prison-in-Karaj\"The cyber group named ‘Adalat Ali’ (Persian for Imam Ali’s Justice) claimed it has hacked the Ghezel Hesar prison in Karaj and to have obtained “very confidential” security documents, including a list of 1,600 people arrested during the November 2019 uprising.<\/p>\n

The group said in a message: “We hacked the Ghezel Hesar prison in Karaj to expose the regime’s oppression in another dreadful prison and not to allow it to be hidden again… We, the Iranians, are political prisoners of this authoritarian regime and we are going to turn the anniversary of the 1979 revolution to nationwide protests.”<\/p>\n

In April 2021, the group had released footage that contained images of torture and inhumane treatment in Evin Prison.<\/p>\n

Germany Won’t Accept Nuclear Iran, Chancellor Says<\/h3>\n

\"German-Chancellor-Olaf-Scholz\"<\/p>\n

During an interview with the Washington Post, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made clear Germany will not allow the Iranian regime to acquire a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

When asked about how far away the negotiations are from making a deal, Mr. Scholz responded: “It depends on Iran. We gave them a clear message that now is the time for decisions and for progress, and not for prolonging the process. We will not accept the ability of Iran of having a nuclear bomb… There is not much time left. Because we know about the progress of the nuclear program of Iran.”<\/p>\n
