Iran's cyber police have claimed that Saudi Arabia was amongst three Arab countries behind the recent hacking of a government website, forcing it to go temporarily offline. The website for the Ministry of Interior and Islamic Guidance had been taken offline on Friday after hackers posted what they said were details about the country's nuclear program. Iran's chief of police, General Kamal Hadianfar submitted a report containing the IP addresses of the hackers which have been sent to Saudi Arabia via Interpol; a move that he hopes will bring them to justice. Jalali also mentioned that Iran will be conducting specialised war games in the coming months in efforts to boost its cyber defence. Details about the security breach emerged on 25 May, resulting in numerous speculations about the identity of the hackers, with the terrorist organisation Isis named as one of the suspects, although this has been dismissed.
