Iranian cyberwar is a US right wing myth

24 APRIL 2015 

Claims that Iran has been conducting a cyberwar against the United States have been greatly exaggerated by US conservatives.

Last week the New York Times took time out of its busy schedule advertising Apple products to run a yarn about a report of how Iran had conducted hundreds of thousands of cyberattacks against American industrial targets.

The article was based on a report penned by Norse, a prominent cybersecurity firm but they were working with the American Enterprise Institute, which is politely called a conservative think tank, or less politely a bunch of right wing nut jobs who think that the US can rule the world by bombing the Islam out of it.

According to the Daily Dot the Iran report was inaccurate, politically motivated, and a transparent marketing ploy to take advantage of headline-making international relations between the US and Iran.
