“Iranian Cyber Army” Hacks Opposition Websites
12 February 2010 Posted By Layla Armeen
Several pro-opposition websites in Iran have been hacked today by the “Iranian Cyber Army”, widely believed to be associated with the Iranian government’s security apparatus.
Rah-e Sabz, the leading opposition website (also known as Jaras), cautioned its readers to ignore incoming e-mails from any organization claiming to be “Jaras” or “Rah-e Sabz” due to possible infiltration of personal data and e-mail addresses.
Also hacked were Kalemeh and Tahavolehsabz. Similar to previous attacks by the “Cyber Army” against Twitter and the Chinese search engine Baidu, each site displays a banner stating “This Site Has Been Hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army”, and a logo–this time featuring the Iranian flag and an AK-47.
Rah-e Sabz has rerouted its site to http://www.rahesabz.org and http://www.rahesabz.info at this time. The hacked website is at http://www.rahesabz.net.

Not hacked. Their domains were hijacked. DNS cache poisoning. look it up.
Their logo look suspiciously like the Internet Explorer one.
If they are associated with the Iranian government’s security apparatus, why on earth would they target the Chinese search engine Baidu? Doesn’t make sense.
