In a social media post on Wednesday, the hacking group that claimed responsibility said the Stryker hack was retaliation for a missile strike on an elementary school in Iran...
Being sickened and angered by the killing of so many schoolgirls, who happen to be Iranian, makes you "Pro-Iran"? Strange world.
At least from CNN's story, it seems unclear whether this was an attack by a known pro-Iran group, with an "in retaliation for killing schoolgirls" tagline. Or an attack by some unknown group(s), with such a tagline.
Given how many hacking groups don't like the US, the latter would tell us almost nothing about the attackers' actual identities and objectives.
Handala Team claimed responsibility for the attack. They are a known entity.
CNN's lack of depth failed to surface the relevant details, but other news organizations do provide more context. This thread on the Krebs Security post has more discussion.
