Iran media 'being targeted by American and British hackers'

13 Feb 2018 - 11:49

Hackers who accessed websites of some of Iran's daily papers are from the United States and Britain, Iranian telecommunication officials have said.


A Sunday statement carried by the official IRNA news agency quotes the officials as saying the hackers targeted 30 websites on Saturday, including some belonging to Iranian newspapers.
It added, however, that the websites were poorly secured.
Late on Saturday hackers accessed the dailies' websites and changed their Farsi top stories to a contrived report about the death of the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
No one has claimed responsibility for the cyberattacks.
