Interesting that you interrupted it in this way. Maybe that speaks more of your own biases than it does of those in the HN community? :)

Anyway, my immediate thought (before the article got to the teen) was that this attack might have be spillover from an attack by the US on Iranian systems. Or at least an hint at how exposed Iran's digital infrastructure might be to future attack from the US in light of recent events. Or maybe how this will get Iran to tighten up it's digital infrastructure before such an attack from the US could happen.

I also immediately didn't think that the origin of Cashdollar's attack had anything to do with the origin of the creator or perpetrator.

The article mentions it is a VPS server owned by a company operating out of Iran.

But maybe like me they turn on a VPN and are now operating out of "China" or "Turkey" or, gasp, "San Francisco".

I think SF would be a good look to potential investors.

Probably just a typo but in case not: interpreted.
