TEHRAN — Hackers have disrupted the work of
Iran’s Fars news agency, the agency said.

Fars said its website had been disrupted late Friday
by a “complex hacking and cyberattack operation”.
“Removing possible bugs ... may cause problems for
some agency services for a few days,” it said in a statement posted Saturday on
its Telegram channel.
“
Cyberattacks against Fars news agency are carried out almost daily from different countries,
including the occupied territories (Israel),” it added, without elaborating.
On October 21, a group called Black Reward said it
had obtained documents related to Iran’s nuclear program and demanded the
release of all political prisoners and people arrested during the protests.
After its 24-hour ultimatum expired, material on
social media said to be released by the group included a short clip from a
purported nuclear site in Iran, as well as documents.
On November 23, the
Atomic Energy Organization of Iran acknowledged that one of its subsidiaries had been targeted by “a specific
foreign country”, while downplaying the importance of the documents in
question.
Iran on the one side and Israel and the US on the
other have regularly accused each other of cyberattacks.
