Iran's official television hacked by hackers: "Death to Khamenei"
In anticipation of the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, an address condemning the regime and pro-Diaspora opposition briefly appeared on official television during a "particularly complex" cyber attack.
In recent years, Iran has experienced a series of extensive cyber attacks, one of which led to the shutdown of gas stations in the country in October.

Hackers hacked into Iranian state television (Iranian state television)
Iranian official television was hacked today (Thursday) by hackers who published inscriptions condemning Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and in favor of the Diaspora opposition.
This is ahead of the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, which will be marked next month.
The channel said the break-in lasted ten seconds, and in the Queen appeared the faces and voices of the "hypocrites" - a nickname of the regime for the leaders of the regime from the Mujahideen Khalk organization.
Videos posted on social media showed pictures of the organization's leaders - Mariam and Masoud Rajawi - against the backdrop of a voice calling "Cheers to Rajawi, death to Khamenei."
The channel announced that the hack, the latest in a series of cyber attacks affecting official bodies in Iran, is under investigation.
The channel noted that this was a "very complex attack" that exploited loopholes in the system.
Similar disruptions have occurred on the regime's channels and other radio stations.

In October, a widespread cyber attack silenced the country's gas stations for days, in an action that Iran attributed to the United States and Israel.
Both countries, as well as other countries in the West, have accused Iranian hackers of a series of cyber attacks against them in recent years.
