Anonymous is launching an operation against the Iranian regime

The Anonymous group launched on Sunday 1 May, a series of computer attacks against the Iranian regime's institutional sites. Dubbed "# opiran" This new operation is presented as a demonstration of "support" to the Iranian people, for the International Labour Day. A total of ten "key targets" were targeted, including several sites of ministries.

If some of them are available again on Monday, others are still inaccessible. SEVERAL STATES ALREADY REFERRED To put these sites offline, the participants used the program Loic, a simple tool to access, to participate in denial of service attacks. Anonymous has made known to the general public by launching at the end of last year, similar attacks against companies that have frozen the accounts of Wikileaks in a "transaction response.

If the targets of these "hacktivists" are varied, it is not the first time directly attacking qu'Anonymous States. Regretting the failure to freedom of expression in several states, the group recently targeted the sites of the authorities of Zimbabwe, Tunisia and Egypt, Yemen and Bahrain, said the specialized site Read Write Web.
