Iran: 70K Cyber Termites (4#) -

The regime has arrested 30 people on espionage charges for conducting psychological warfare using anti-filtering computer software. The arrests may be real enough, though the cyberwarfare scenario seems more like a fairytale fantasy.

It's a bit difficult to determine just what they imagine has been going on. People all over the world have objected to the Iranian regime's policy to isolate its citizens, and they far outnumber the U.S. Government.

"Members of the network... confessed that their proxy anti-filter software... was... used for espionage purposes."

According to Dutch Radio, Sadegh Naghashkar and Behrouz Javid Tehrani were identified as the alleged founders of this ring of cyber spies. They were arrested in July 2009.
