Jan 6, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The increasing rate of cyber crime and website hacking is becoming a serious issue of these days. Last month, a band of hackers who called themselves as “Iranian Cyber Army” had hacked a popular social networking site and claimed their dominance in the cyber world. It appears that after the social networking sites, the hackers have aimed the websites of politicians. In a recent report, it has been stated the cyber criminals have targeted the website of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the sixth President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

As per the reports, the criminals who had hacked the website of the president had prayed for his death in the year 2010. It has been reported that the hacker had mentioned the list of celebrities, who had died in the year 2009 and wanted god to take the life of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the present year. Reports indicate that the hackers had not only prayed for the death of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but also hoped the same for Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. Hacking of the website and praying for his death on his own site has raised the eyebrows of people. Many people had tried to visit his website after the report of hacking surfaced. However, most of them could not as the site faced some outage problems.

The reports of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s website hacking has created a huge controversy but none of the cyber crime group has claimed this act. Media representative tried to contact the Iranian officials to know about the investigation report of this act. However, none of the officials have made any comment yet.
