Iranian officials say hacks on newspapers' websites are from US, Britain
Yesterday it was Syrian news websites, today it’s Iran’s. So many possibilities, including an autistic lad sitting alone in his bedroom, working for approval or Bitcoins.
[Ynet] Iranian telecommunication officials said Sunday that hackers who accessed the websites of some of the country's dailies are from the United States and Britannia.

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 grabbed credit for the cyberattacks.
