“Reframing our AI strategy”
January 17, 2026 at 11:51 AM
Anti Iranian government hacktivists Edaalate Ali have resurfaced after total silence during the Iranian Internet blackout. Have found the auto-translation of their long post on Telegram hard to parse though.

“At the turn of the ring, 12 roses are used for this purpose.”

Russians on Telegram discussing #Iran seem unusually bleak today, even by Russian standards. None of the various comments I’ve seen express much confidence in the Iranian regime to last and believe a US attack is imminent in the next 12 - 24 hours.

So a fishing expedition to net angry federal employees.

Is that an AI cartoonified January 6th riot happening behind Dilbert?

Garfield for me.

Fucking hell. This is potentially twice the higher end estimates of the massacre and resulting deaths around Tiananmen Square.

If your family member was posting stuff like this online about a chatbot you’d be in the family group chat talking about an intervention, or at the very least wondering if you had missed some warning signs.

Also if anyone is keeping track the only pro-Iran hacktivist group I can see on Telegram that is active and posting about Iran is 313 Team. Currently carrying messages from Iraqi Hezbollah leadership decrying “preparations to target the Islamic Republic of Iran, the fortress of Muhammadan Islam”.

That is such a mid 90s font.

Auto translation of part of the linked page:

“Suspect is sentenced to 7 years in prison. He is guilty of complicity in computer peace breach. The purpose of this was to gain access to the port systems and then be able to import unseen and unnoticed drugs and thus make drug trafficking possible.“

Edaalate Ali is still active on Twitter (sigh) and Instagram (weird). This is a translation of a tweet from them from January 5th 2026.

Unsolicited Telegram messages with threatening auras.

NoName057(16) say please no swearing in the chat where we coordinate getting people to install our DDoS client.

Pro-Palestinian hacktivist group Golden Eagle (not to be confused with the APT of the same name) claim to be supporting Venezuela by hacking traffic cameras in America, I think.

I’m just trying to understand @theguardian.com “staff” describing extortion with the threat of military force by Trump as a “negotiation”. I mean I guess it is if we consider blackmail a negotiation which might be technically correct.

Statement on Telegram from Morningstar:

Russian hacktivist groups have an obsession with unsecured webcams right now, the latest trend. I’d speculate this is simply easier than DDoS and provides something visual for supporters to look at. Maybe they are just running out of random OT heating systems to vandalize. From “Morningstar”:

Very on brand for a US president who is mentally and emotionally trapped in the 1980s.
