Interestingly, the hacker's letter ends in a Persian quote: “Janam Fadaye Rahbar” which I Googled and got:
“Janam Fadaye Rahbar”… means “I will sacrifice my soul for my leader”.If this was indeed an Iranian operation, then it was just a subtle shot across our bow. And now that I think about it, Iran hasn't established much of a record for subtlety. Which builds a case for the lone-hacker theory.
When I Googled the above quote, I found a blog on which I couldn't resist leaving my own calling card:
Here’s a really dumb comment: “I will sacrifice my soul?” Hey, sacrifice your life. But your soul! Good grief man, a soul is for eternity. Your soul and its salvation is what we slog through this veil of tears to preserve. Let’s hope a better translation is, “I will sacrifice my life…” I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here, as nobody could be this eternally stupid.As for the Iranian hacker, if you are who you say you are then you have indeed made monkeys out of the RSA spin doctors.
As of 18 February 2013, the RSA hack was clearly a Chinese operation.
