A friend of mine's site got hacked by 'Virangar Security Team', who have posted their website "Virangar.net and .org" on his site as well.

I am wondering what anyone knows about these people. To me, hacking sites is the anti-thesis of security. Then again, they are Iranian, from what I saw.

I am not asking for anyone to go after them, only for information on them, since I cannot read that language.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and before a goon comments on 'teach me to hack' or 'hack for me' I want to clearify I am only seeking information on the group to find out WHY they would have targeted my friend's site. I think you guys know better of me by now.

Judging by their site and the google hits returned, I think "Security Team" is just their name. They appear to be just a garden-variety website defacing hacker group.

From what I can gather it's unlikely it was anything specific against your friend.

It seems far more likely that your friend was a victim of circumstance. He may have been running something exploitable and easily found through Google.

That's what I was thinking....google had 14 pages of 'this site has been hacked by...', but when I went to their main site and could not read it...I was hoping maybe there was someone who could.
