Israeli Hacker Claims to Have Breached Iran Airtour Airlines Website
An Israeli hacker that uses the online moniker Yourikan claims to have penetrated the systems of Iran Airtour Airlines (iranairtours.ir), a Teheran-based airline that’s a subsidiary of Iran Air.
The hacker has told Cyber War News that he has deleted data from the organization’s systems, causing major damage.
“Say no to nuclear Iran. Say no to terror,” the hacker said.
He allegedly obtained access to accounting, e-ticket and billing systems. To demonstrate his accomplishment, the hacker has published several screenshots that show he had access to the systems of Iran Airtour Airlines.
I’m attempting to contact Iran Airtour Airlines to get their side of the story. I’ll update the post in case they respond to my inquiries.
This is not the first time when Yourikan targets Iranian organizations. Last summer, he defaced 91 Iranian websites, including ones of state agencies and universities.
In around the same period, he also claimed to have leaked over 600 user account details from the Niroo Research Institute.
