Vigilante Hackers Threaten Cyber War on Iran?

Via Silicon Valley Sleuth.

An anonymous group of hackers -- or some sad attention seekers -- are threatening to launch a cyber attack on Iran. Hostilities are scheduled to commence at "dawn of April 06, 2007" and aim to cripple the nation's internet infrastructure.

The pending action was announced on the Full Disclosure security email list on Wednesday. There is a fairly large chance that this is a hoax or empty threats. If the group seeks to do damage, they should prefer to have the element of surprise.
