Hackers hit Iran with US flag and 'Don't mess with our elections' warning
2018-04-09
[FOX] The Iranian government on Saturday said hackers attacked networks in multiple countries-- including data centers in Iran-- where they left the image of an American flag along with a warning "Don’t mess with our elections."

IRNA, Iran’s official news agency, said the attack apparently affected 200,000 router switches across the world, including 3,500 in Iran, Reuters reported.

Iran’s IT Minister Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi shared a photograph on Twitter showing an infected computer’s screen with the U.S. flag and the hackers’ warning.

He said on social media that the state’s computer emergency response unit had shown "weaknesses in providing information to (affected) companies" following the hack that was first noticed on Friday in Iran.
