The Iranian Cyber Army doesn’t just guess DNS credentials and put useful sites offline. They un-hack Web sites too. Apparently that’s what’s happened in the past few hours, after a hacking group calling itself the Iranian Green Army was redirecting a page on Hezbollah of Iran’s Web site (http://hizbollah.ir/fa/) to the Web site, Getasexpartner.com (www.getasexpartner.com/hiz-bol.htm).

There visitors were greeted with the following message

Analysts have said in the past that the Iranian Cyber Army appears to be a Shiite group that is sympathetic to Hezbollah. I guess this latest hacking incident backs up that theory.These hacked pages are live as I post this, but if you do check them out, make sure you know what you’re doing as they’re obviously untrustworthy.
