Iranian state television satellite transmissions were reportedly disrupted by hackers early Monday, who broadcast footage supporting the country's exiled crown prince and urged security forces not to "point your weapons at the people". This cyberattack marks the latest disruption amid ongoing nationwide protests.
The hacking incident coincides with a brutal crackdown by authorities, which activists claim has resulted in at least 3,919 deaths. There are growing fears that this figure could significantly increase as information slowly emerges from a country where the government has imposed a severe internet shutdown.
