21-Year-Old Iranian Hacker Is the LulzSec Antichrist

You probably haven't heard of Comodohacker. He operates alone. But on Thursday, he scared Google into issuing a warning for all of Iran—and he wants them to control the internet.

The NYT got in touch with Comodohacker, who says he's a 21 year old Iranian student, and asked him about the motives behind his sweeping breach of Gmail this summer. By sniping security certificates from a Dutch company—essentially the digital ID cards that tell your computer a website's legit—Comodohacker was able to crack 300,000 Iranian Gmail accounts, prompting Google to warn the entire country.

So why'd he do it? For the Lulz? For the Ayatollah.

The NYT quotes Comodohacker's decidedly nationalistic explanation of the hack:

"My country should have control over Google, Skype, Yahoo, etc.," he said by e-mail. "I'm breaking all encryption algorithms and giving power to my country to control all of them."

Scary stuff. Although he brags about his hacking capers like any other capable digital miscreant, aligning himself with an oppressive regime places him categorically opposite LulzSec and Anon. Their distrust of government borders on anarchism—Comodohacker's is akin to patriotism. For the latter two, governments are something to be bludgeoned and vivisected, thrashed into accountability. For Commodohacker, his government is righteous, and deserves the internet. And despite lacking recognition in the public eye, he's clearly great at what he does: 300,000 in a country of 75,000,000 is no small feat—especially in a society where private communication can be what's keeping you alive.

no small feat indeed ... thats one smart dude but stupid for thinking u can trust government

No internets for him!

The arabs are the children of Ishmail, sons of Abraham, brothers to Israel and the seed of Adam, the internet is the new Babilonia, one world, one language, the time is upon us, the nephilim are awaken to bring havoc to earth, very soon it will all unveil.

So as an attempt to make it known that his people should run Google, he hacks email accounts belonging to people in his country? That gets this point across how?

The **** is wrong with you?

"My country should have control over Google, Skype, Yahoo, etc.," he said by e-mail. "I'm breaking all encryption algorithms and giving power to my country to control all of them."

he may be a smart hacker but that is one dumb statement.
The companies that he names are owned and controlled by USA, what do you expect???! if you don't like it, don't use it. and stealing people's emails is patriotism?! LOL

Over the top much?

We are all for freedom of religion but can you tone it down a little please.
We like people to leave religious, racial and sexual differences at the door when they enter our house.
It makes the place friendlier.
