It`s awkward moment when you see references to something you`ve done
more than 6 years ago, someone bringing it up in a completely wrong
way because of misunderstandings, and making hypes out of it.

I just noticed this The-Register article:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/04/iran_leased_line_e_jihadi/


The article itself could be interesting , IF , it was true. but now
it`s like a prank for me that I didn`t find it interesting. So I`m
posting this email to clarify some points. I`ve already contacted
author of article and I hope they update it accordingly.

In 2008 I posted list of Iran NUA information on my personal blog,
which by that time it was already 4 years outdated, and that`s why I
didn't care bout holding it in shadow anymore:

http://hkashfi.blogspot.co.uk/2008/10/irans-x25-nua-directory.html

As I mentioned in blog post, list is already filtered and I removed
some addresses for obvious reasons.

"Ansar-al-Mojahedin" name in that NUA list, is just name of an Iranian
financial institute (in that time) and an official bank now, which you
can find more information about them from their site www.ansarbank.com

There are some other technical mistakes and misunderstandings in
TheRegister article too, but I`m not interested in discussing them now.
Long story short, please validate your discoveries with source of
information before you make any hype out of them!
