IRI police find clues of cyber attacks culprits

Clues have been found about perpetrators of cyber attacks and the prosecutor is following up the case, Commander of the IRI Police, Brigadier-General Ismail Ahmadi Moqaddam said on Tuesday. He told reporters that the prosecutor is currently busy identifying perpetrators of the cyber attacks in cooperation with Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the ministries attacked. “In terms of cyber theft, it is the responsibility of the Islamic Republic of Iran Police, but, the ministries themselves are also responsible for taking security measures to thwart cyber attacks,” he said. Ahmadi Moqaddam said that the cyber attacks created problems, but, at the same time, they provided an opportunity to identify the likely flaws. He said that foreign made security systems have their own flaws, calling for focusing on setting up Intranet and domestic security measures.
