Libtech, On Friday, Small Media released its third edition of the Iranian Internet Infrastructure and Policy Report series, chronicling the events relating to Internet censorship in February and March.
http://smallmedia.org.uk/InfoFlowReportMARCH.pdf In addition to the blocking of VPN, Tor and other anti-filtering services, we document throttling, the blocking of VoIP and the return of phishing and malware against individuals inside and outside of the country. Masquerading as satire or tools, these attacks bring light to a private hacking community that has matured in recent years, and whose motivations are unclear. The series began late last year on the understanding that we can better predict the future when the motivations and actions of key actors are better understood. There is no better affirmation of this than the timing of the February edition of this series, where it predicted, “When the Supreme Council of Cyberspace promotes new policies on the registration of VPNs, we can expect that unregistered VPN connection will be blocked and throttled.” Small Media will host a Google Hangout to discuss the findings of this report and forecasts for the upcoming months on Tuesday April 16 at 1500 GMT.
