The mullahs ruling Iran are constantly escalating their efforts to deploy cyber-attack capabilities against Iranian dissidents as well as the critical infrastructure of other nations.

This cruel internet censorship has made Iran one of the “enemies of the internet.” Iran’s regime notoriously employs malware for espionage, especially identifying activists and pro-democracy protesters within its borders. Even some Iranian state-sponsored spyware, such as like “Telegram Talaei” and “Mob...

Iran news in brief, June 27, 2019 Iran Regime Is Torturing Families of Victims of the 1988 Massacre Amnesty International says Iran's regime is torturing the families of the victims of the 1988 massacre.
