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.
