Television channels and a radio station run by Iran’s state broadcaster were briefly hacked in a complex attack by an exiled opposition group Thursday, according to a senior official at the network.
Reza Alidadi, deputy head of technical affairs for Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting -- which has a monopoly on all broadcast services in Iran -- told state TV that the Albania-based People’s Mujahedin of Iran was behind the “extremely elaborate” hack and an investigation was underway.
