It's possible that the Iranian government is behind ComodoHacker, who has quickly established a combative online persona that uses Twitter to lament the 'stupids' who doubt his exploits and employs hash tags like '#usagovfail' to condemn the West's understanding of Islam and Iran. But that might be attributing too much to a sometimes-brutal regime that the advocacy group Reporters Without Borders says actively censors opposition Web sites, jams satellite broadcasts, and limits Internet connection speeds when criticism of its policies mounts.
Peter Gutmann, a computer scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, offered this salient observation on a Mozilla forum: Comodo 'wasn't owned by a nation-state cyberwar agency but by a random script kiddie having some fun.'
