Russia the Emperor of Cyber Empire

In decades of 1990, Russian Police were unaware of the Cyber Crime. They have no idea about it. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, number of Mathematicians and Electronic Engineers were jobless. So they looked forward to the world of Internet to earn money. On that time, there is no much information and susceptibility. It is said that world of Hacking in Russia is established by the capable, qualified jobless fellow who hacked the website banks, Financial Organization and foreigner government and pretended to be a hero.

Famous Hackers and Cyber Criminals on that time were connected with magazine. Intelligence Buru of Russia, FSB was aware of these but Russian Government was not offended with it. They wanted to take advantage of this Hacking culture.

Russian Reporter has said that the chief of FSB knew most of the Hackers Privately. He added that in 2007, hackers attacked and hacked most of the website of neighbor country Estonia at the gesture of Russian Government. After one year of this attack, another neighbor country Georgia was also Cyber attacked. But this time, they did not take the help of freelance Hackers. , Russian Govt. Hackers did this. Actually they were the member of Russian Intelligence Buru. The officers of Secret Service was hacking the Website of Georgia. Russian Government thought that they could not believe on freelance Hackers. So wanted to start the own Hacker’s Army who serves the nation. So the agent of Secret Service was taught Hacking tricks.

Iran is one of the old players of the world of Hacking. In 1990 decades, when Internet services started in Iran, They involved their people to prepare Cyber-attack. The people of Iran understood earlier that there will be a major role of internet in the control of information especially there, where was despot governance. It was also understood that civil society would strong through internet and social media. In 2009, when green movement was occurs, Iran took the help of hackers with force to suppress the demonstration. They hacked the E-mails and Social media accounts of demonstrators and sent them to the prison. This was the first time when Iran had proved that Internet was just like a weapon for the government. When Iran started showing his power in the field of Cyber Space and hacked social media accounts like twitter and then he pretended to be a Cyber Army of Iran. Education System of Iran was prepared by the highly qualified Engineers and Scientists but most of them went off to America and Europe. Remaining became the part of Cyber Army.
