Press TV - In a Sunday statement, the Iranian DataCoders Security Team said the attack, which was carried out on the anniversary of the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Dariush Rezaei Nejad, led to the hacking of 220 Israeli websites, particularly those belonging to the regime’s companies.
The attack aimed to assert Iran's inalienable nuclear energy rights and to avenge the blood of assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists, the statement added.
Rezaei Nejad was shot dead by gunmen last July. He was the fourth victim of terror attacks against the Iranian scientists.
On June 28, Iran's Intelligence Ministry said all the Israeli-linked elements behind the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists have been apprehended.
The first victim of the terrorist attacks was professor Ali-Mohammadi, a lecturer at Tehran University, who was killed by a booby-trapped motorbike in the Iranian capital in January 2010.
On November 29, 2010, Professor Majid Shahriari and Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi were targeted by terrorist attacks; Shahriari was killed immediately and Dr. Abbasi sustained injuries.
Later in January 2012, Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was assassinated after an unknown motorcyclist attached a magnet bomb to his car in Tehran.
