An Iranian hacker from Iran Hack Security Team hacked and defaced the official website of Royal Saudi Air Force this Friday morning.

Though the hacker didn’t upload any deface page on the Saudi Air Force website, but the message in text form “Hacked By Mr.Xpr! Iran Hack Security Team” made it obvious that somehow the hacker was able to bypass the site’s security.

In an exclusive conversation with the hacker, HackRead was told that the reason for targeting Saudi Air Force website was to register a protest against the Saudi-led war in Yemen. 

According to the hacker:

“We want Saudi Arabia to stop killing people in Yemen. We will keep on targeting Saudi defense related sites.”

Saudi and Iranian hackers have been fighting a silent cyberwar against each other meanwhile both countries are criticizing each other for their roles in the ongoing conflict in the Republic of Yemen.
