The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) has confirmed that one of its subsidiaries' email servers was hacked after the ''Black Reward' hacking group published stolen data online.
AEOI says an unauthorized party from a specific foreign country, which is not named, stole emails from the hacked server, which consisted of daily correspondence and technical memos.
The agency says it immediately took the necessary preventive measures to mitigate the results of this incident and informed all concerned parties and officials to be prepared for potential exploitation attempts.
AEIO says that the purpose of the breach and the data leak was to attract public attention and smear the image of AEOI in the media.
"It is obvious that the purpose of such illegal efforts, which are carried out out of desperation, is to attract public attention, create media atmospheres, and psychological operations, and lack any other value," reads the machine-translated
AEOI statement.
