IRANIAN TERROR ON THE NET

Over at the inetimable GIYUS blog, Iran is exporting cyber terror through Ahmadjiadman's diabolical website. WARNING: Israeli bloggers do not log on it will destroy your computer (hat tip Warchick);

The Iranian president, Ahmadinejad, has opened his very own blog. You can read the news here. Wouldn’t it be nice to pay him a visit and tell him what you think about his terror-supporting regime? Don’t do this! It’s a trap!

Apparently the Iranian now use the Internet to terrorize citizens. If you do visit the blog, the first screen looks innocent:

But if you click on one of the links on the left side of the page (and you are coming from Israel), you get this alert from your firewall:

And here is what Norton Internet Security has to say about this alert:

Looking up IP address 62.220.121.131 on DNSSTUFF clearly shows it is indeed an Iranian address. Here is the contact info for it:

“HTTP MS IE File DragDrop Embed Code”, according to Symantec  is “an attempt to exploit a vulnerability in Internet Explorer […that] if combined with other vulnerabilities, […] could aid in execution of arbitrary code on the client computer”. Bad stuff.

Want to check this out yourself? Unless you are a security expert, don’t. If you understand the risk, and want to see for yourself, go to www.ahmadinejad.ir and click on www.khamenei.ir. We're not sure whether the exploit happens for non-Israeli addresses, so please tell us. Anyway, make sure all your defenses are up before you enter!

UPDATE: Huh?

Thanks Atlas and Warchick for the warning, I found his link through Right Truth and when I discovered the same thing and posted about it - they quickly yanked 3 of my post down. So screw em, heh! They won't miss me when I don't go back and read,,LOL

This is what I got from my security log:

Details: Attempted Intrusion "HTTP MS IE File DragDrop Embed Code" against your machine was detected and blocked.

Intruder: 62.220.121.131(http(80)).

Risk Level: Medium.

I checked the IP with Whois query and it is out of Tehran, Iran.. Thanks for warning your readers of the security threat no one wants to get their machine screwed with by some worm attack or worse! I love your blog and GREAT interview with Bolton! Keep up the excellent work! I am so proud of the bloggers like you! Take care

Planck's constant I wouldn't put it past a fanatic like Ah-mad-jihadie to try and usher in the hidden Imam. I was surprised that the story made the msm. I believe that if he did something that insane he would just usher his own final solution. When his day comes I pray it is not at Israel's expense. If Ah-mad-jihadie did attack in such a way then Israel will take her enemies with her and all hell will for sure break loose!

Scary stuff!

Anyone who still runs Internet Exploder on the PC side should take the opportunity to download and run Firefox. And yes I'm being nice to all y'all PC users! :)
