91 Iranian Websites Defaced by Israeli Hacker

An Israeli hacker that goes by the name of Yourikan (you-r!-k@n) is probably making Iranian officials proud of their decision to move sensitive government systems off the world wide web. He defaced a number of 91 websites from Iran, including the ones owned by state agencies, universities and high-profile companies.

In an interview with Infosec Island, Yourikan revealed that his actions were a form of protest against Iran’s nuclear program.

“This is an attack against Iran than support terrorism and developing nuclear weapons to destroy Israel. Israel will not tolerate terror, Israel will not accept nuclear Iran,” he said.

He claims that he can cause a lot more damage than this, but he prefers only to deface the websites because he isn’t “trying to hurt the citizens of Iran.”

At the end of July, the same hacker breached the website of the Tehran Regional Water Company, operated by the Ministry of Energy, as a form of protest against the bombing that targeted Israeli citizens in Bulgaria.

Other targets include Iran’s national radio station, and the site of the Iranian Meteorological Organization.
