Government-run surveillance cameras around Iran's capital reportedly were "disrupted" Thursday, while an exile group claimed it hacked into over 5,000 cameras around Tehran ahead of commemoration of the death of the founder of the republic.
The Young Journalists Club, an affiliate of Iranian state television, acknowledged the disruption on Twitter after the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq claimed it penetrated the cameras, including around the mausoleum of the late Khomeini. The website for Tehran's municipality also went down, as well as "communication systems" used by the city, the report said.
