Iranian officials say hacks on newspapers' websites are from US, Britain
Iranian telecommunication officials said Sunday that hackers who accessed the websites of some of the country's dailies are from the United States and Britain.
A 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.
