A group of Iranian hackers tried over the last two years to spy on Israeli physicists and nuclear scientists, as well as after other senior people in academic institutions, the defense establishment and the business world, as part of the group’s worldwide cyberattacks. This was revealed yesterday by Israeli software provider Check Point. Following this revelation, authorities in Britain, Germany and Holland took down the platform used by the group in its hacking ventures.

Various security analysts are convinced that the group worked for Iran. For the full article click here
